Given the competition that exists in the "real" magazine sphere (some of them with actual publishing standards!) I doubt that they'll have any more luck there.
The thing is, these are all small changes and it's frustrating that there isn't a larger, more vocal opposition. But the fact that there are changes at all is encouraging. As far as I can tell, the magazine itself is getting *worse*. The above scan is from the most recent issue. And they continue to be rewarded by the companies - with interviews, with previews and sketches, with "Official Spoilers: one of these people will die".
It seems like Wizard is publishing what DC and Marvel and etc want as well.
