Hi Everyone, we’ve been getting ready and pulling together some resources for the next round of gaming campaigns and it looks like we have a ways to go. So we can use your help!
It’s common knowledge that gamers just know other gamers. Whether this is members of your clan/guild/linkshell/forum, people you know by their PSN ID / Wii Friend Code / XBL Gamertag, or even just the friends you hang out with every day — gamers know gamers.
Gaming has become a new dimension of social bonding. We no longer have the stereotypes of being hikikomoris simply because we are gamers. We’re no longer a niche; we’re an entire psychographic! In fact, we rule the market! Remember GTA IV? Did you know that it made $300 million on release day, whereas the biggest opening day for a movie is Spiderman 3 at $60 million?
So, we think it’s time to gather around and finally get our just rewards for helping to drive much of the entertainment industry’s economy.
Many of you know that if you’ve worked with us here at M80 before, and you probably know that we are usually able to provide review copies to gamers who can return to us their unfiltered opinions about a game. But maybe other gamers don’t know that there’s this opportunity. And let’s face it, games are pretty expensive, all things considered.
So if you’ve got friends you’d like to recommend to review for us, comment on this post. Or, you can let them know to email me directly! (nico@m80im.com)
Gamers form little communities everywhere, and that’s awesome to begin with. But what if we took all those communities, all the blogs, all the clan sites, and even game publishers themselves, and then connected them all to each other?
We think it’s a good idea. It’s a massive task, but it’s worth a shot, right?
