I will be speaking at the Boston Post Mortem (the meeting of the Boston chapter of the IGDA) on Wednesday 10th. GamerDNA will also be sponsoring the event with food and drinks. Join me at the Skellig in Waltham (240 Moody St, Waltham, MA) starting at 7PM. There will about an hour of drinking and networking, followed by my talk at 8PM.
I’ll be talking about market trends in video games that we’ve been able to observe through the lens of GamerDNA. Examples from the discussion will include:
- Rock Band versus Guitar Hero 3 — which is being played more, and why?
- Braid vs. other XBLA titles — real evidence of the word-of-mouth long-tail at work
- What happens to former World of Warcraft players when they try other MMORPGs? (Hint: it’s not what you expect)
