Wade, My Investment in ATVI is 100 shares,
i've sold all my game stocks over the past
year.
<<<can you give me a reference for 50 million,
almost eveyone who owns a computer is unfamilar
with Usenet or doesn't use it>>>
Well Wayne, I'd say 50 million is a lowball figure
for Usenet , i'd say it's more. There's 57,000 gropus
and growing daily, sorry i wouldn't kmow where to
get the numbers of users.
Usenet made the Internet, how do you think it was
started?. If you spent some time on the newsgroups, you
would see just about every game company has a presence
there. This includes CEOs, tech help, release dates,developers,
rebate announcements etc. It's the bigest resource tool out
there.People make buying decisions on just about everything.
you might want to learn about Deja News,i think you will
find it quite enlighting.
Take all the shots you want Wade,i'd be worried to if the
company i owned is spending 2 million bucks to market a
bad game. At least they didn't spend 10 million like GTIS
did for Abe's Odyssey. THQI is now going to have to spend
big bucks to market their games, next comes the rebates,
T-shirts,etc. The days of putting the one hit game on the
shelfs are over, now they will be joining the rest of the
industry.
Good Luck,
Alex
