Yeah it's for the people that don't want your opinion though! 'Talking with Ubisoft developers personally' uh huh. |
lol actually yah I met and talked with multiple developers from both Ghost Recon Online and Future Soldier at PAX. Got some contacts with members of UbiSoft Montreal and the frag dolls but honestly I don't know why everyone wants to have the frag dolls contact info. I always go first for the actual developers.
Maybe Seece if you want to actually talk with people who work on the games you should go to PAX or E3 and actually get some contacts. Then again I'm not completely sure you don't go to E3 and if you do then you should have contacts. The whole point of going to a game convention is to make contacts and try out the latest products.
In fact I am just getting in contact with a marketing exec at NOA right now, couldn't locate him at PAX myself. But a buddy of mine got his business card for me. It also helps to go to a game convention with a group and share contacts, of course I still don't have any Presidents or current CEO's in my contact list. I would if I was employed by a reputable company, unfortunately my last high up sources from Acclaim, Midway and Propaganda (As far as CEO's and Presidents go) are all gone as their companies have gone under.
But maybe you should actually go out and talk with the developers and studios. P.S emailing the studios and publishers won't get you all the best contacts you'll get put on a media list and sent all the regular media updates. If you want real contacts you need to meet the developers in person or have a friend who does.
Right now just biding my time before I give David Jaffe a call, I want to be employed by an actual site or magazine/paper before I contact him again. Nobody that high wants to talk to a fan who is an ex-journalist they want to talk to a big site journalist. But then again I'm sure Seece that you have David and Reggie and all the other execs on speed dial right, I mean you work on one of the biggest gaming sites around. You should have no problem making contacts.
