They will often dress like their target audience. Notice that you don't often find women at these presentations. The female gaming market is still small and growing.

And then compare the general quality of their games. Newell may be a fat slob but the Source engine and every game that uses it is pretty much on par with the best games to come out of Japan in recent memory. Frankly, dressing more casually implies that they are more about making games and less about making money.

Cliff B. looks decent; he has a nice polo shirt on, and he is clean shaven.

After watching the recent GDC Awards material, I thought that the guy with the mickey mouse hat looked ridiculous, having a babe in a short skirt handing out awards and escorting winners off stage was sexist, and some of the winners did dress like weiners.

Programmers are supposed to be a bit quirky. The ones on my team look like anything ranging from pro golfer to homeless dude. Besides, do you really want your games designed by people who follow convention instead of doing what they want?

Haha you call that dressing like a slob? Its just casual clothing. What the hell do you expect them to be in? Tuxedos? These are just every day guys who make games, theres nothing special about them.

If you are nitpicking at what devs are wearing to make your point, you need to get out more. Seriously TC, there is more to life than just system wars...
