Just a curious question , cus I've read some outstanding threads on strategies for the 3 companies.

Nintendo's Reggie always says they read the blogs, but somehow they never deliver too much....

I am sure some devs check this place out. Gamespot is pretty big in the gaming world. The would want to see what people think. Now I am not saying there are devs here all the time but I am sure some check this forum out.

We had Cory Barlog (God ofWar II) come here in 2007 and he was a great poster. I remember he said somethin like he didnt like the Wii too much and the Sheep were on him HARD. They were trying so hard to change his opinion but he reacted nice to them, despite all they were chucking at him.

Unlike another dev i know....

Maybe a few random ones, but I assume most others go to more popular sites.

Some guy from THQ posted in the UK forums a few times regarding Red Faction: Guerilla, I doubt he was a developer though.

I'm sure they may have some staff members that look at all the chatter to see what the general opinion or trend of something is.
