Summary
Last week, I attended the Mercenaries 2 Community Day event at Pandemic Studios in Los Angeles, California. Following the event, I recorded a 'Press VS Community' roundtable discussion featuring Deaconblade from (U360), Trina (Gamingangels), Vicious696 (Uncle Gamer), and Ryan (Marvel).
In 2008, the gaming landscape faced significant challenges, affecting not only Gamertag Radio but also the broader community. Key questions arose: Why were gaming companies shifting away from collaborating with independent sites? Were there too many gaming podcasts and blogs? Had the community become overly commercialized? And, perhaps most importantly, were we considered part of the community or merely press?
