A link off that article Jeff posted is a good read : http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=362&Itemid=36
Its Valve stance on publishers and more specifically Gabe Newall's take on advertising and reaching the customer. What a great perspective. As I am not in marketing or ever have to think about those things Gabe mentions, I thought it was a good insight in to what goes on in that world and how the current media aware society passes information to each other about a decent product as opposed to traditional advertising ramming it down everyone's throats. Sounds like your going to need a degree in conspiracy and snooping to get a product to the 'right' crowd in future :) ***************************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential and are intended for the above named recipient only.
