As a smaller gaming website (we’re not IGN… YET!) we often do our best to abide by the unspoken rules of the gaming industry: Don’t break NDAs, don’t break embargoes, do your best and the benefits will come.

However, there are always a few “bad apples” that feel it necessary to break those embargoes in order to be the first to get information out to the public and onto sites like reddit or N4G.  Don’t be fooled: this is a pure stat-whoring technique.  This detracts from those of us who are more honest and faithful in our presentation to the masses.

So how are these embargo-nauts disciplined?  By being rewarded, of course!  Our friend Brian Ambrozy over at Icrontic details how embargo-breakers ruin the website ownership experience for the rest of us, often causing embargoes to be lifted early and for often-nefarious reasons if they’ve been broken.
