I think devs rather than actual companies get on their own respective forums more than anything and see what things they can change to their respective games. But im sure there are a few people from places scattering the forums

I am sure devs look at forums to see what the people want and how they can improve their game

I doubt the big three use forums much, besides the ones on their own sites

i hope not. most people who talk about games on the internet have terrifyingly bad ideas on what should be done with them.

I sure hope they don't use fanboy fodder as a tool for a steering committee.

I'd be surprised if game companies even care about SW at all.

They know 99% of the gamers here have no clue about game development.....or about how the industry works.

SW - When developers are on a break, they go to SW forum just for laughs

I think they read message boards a lot in general , but probably not system wars. Cory Barlog actuallyposted onsystem wars though , lol. He was over on the God of War Gamespot boards posting and answering questions too.
