the thing is if your looking for it then you will find it but by and by the people who advertise most get the most revenue then advertise more, this in turn makes it easier for them to get more revenue and puts them more in the public eye when people are looking for a item.
I found DarkBasic well before Blitz the main reason was it was on a PCGamer disk touted as allowing you to create 3d games fast, I own DBClassic, DBPro and a few others. TBH I only heard of Blitz again when I heard on the DarkBasic boards that Mark had started work on Blitzbasic2d.
Most companies that dont advertise do go under eventually yes there are some exceptions but when most people are new users and dont know what to get they go with advertising.
