What Hollywood Could Learn From the Gaming Industry

GameDaily's David Radd has up a piece today looking at what Hollywood could learn from the games industry. His main points are that game companies are much more in touch with their customers, do a better job of generating buzz, and utilize the internet as a communications medium more successfully. From the article: "Today, publishers like Activision report that their ad budgets are equal to their game production budgets. But despite this significant increase in the scope of video game advertising, the 'buzz' factor is all important. And with the Internet, viral advertising has a way to touch both groups."

That's Right!

It seems to me that technologists may have a better idea of how to make entertaining Hollywood properties

That's right, Slashdot should run the world!

I'm talking for a one-time-price game. An MMORPG is more like a hooker you keep going back to :-p
