Itneresting read. I thought as much the big labels poo-pooed the game saying it won't sell. I mean how many dragon games have there been to make an accurate example? True there has been a couple of average to below average games (Drakengard and Eragon come to mind) but there has been some good ones as well such as Drakan. This is what is wrong with the games industry; big labels are interested in one thing only; profits. Now obviously that is good in this current economic climate but they ignore quality and just go for quantity found in cheap to develop forgettable cash cow games. This is why good quality games some of which can be pure gems largley get ignored by the public because they simply don't get the marketing they need from big labels.
Anyway that said, I'm glad you found plenty to distribute your game. You can also do things your way without having to please anyone else. In the UK our biggest game mags are Computer and Video Games magazine and PC gamer. If you can get coverage in them it would help in this country at least.
