It’s been forever since we’ve done one of these, hasn’t it? Well. here we are again, putting the shoe on the other hand and asking you guys the questions.
[url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/GOG_Question_Time_question_4/][/url]The recent invading army of polar bears at the office predicated that we hire a polar bear wrangler to deal with them, and since he was here we also appointed him head of PR and Marketing (that would be TheEnigmaticT--he says hi if you haven’t met yet). Since new wrangler/PR guy started here, we’ve been kicking around some ideas about how we can better interact with you, our users. Currently, aside from the occasional appearance of blue text on the fora and one or two of us on #gog in IRC, we don’t reach out to our awesome community very much. We want to change that, but we also want to make sure we’re doing it in the way you guys and gals would like us to.
So we’re currently entertaining two ideas about how to build our community to even "awesomerer" levels. These are very much in the conceptual stage, so there’s no guarantee we’ll ever do either or both or something entirely different.
Thought 1: A monthly community news email. It would probably have a brief discussion of the new releases, call out some of the cool and informative threads that you guys have created.
Thought 2: A monthly video cast from us at GOG (The Cook and TheEnigmaticT show!), where we’d probably have content like some micro-reviews of our recent releases, some GOG Q&A, some updates of what we’ve been up to that’s cool, and long, lingering screenshots of the inside of a cardboard box.
Thought 3: Maybe you have an awesome thought three?
The question for you guys, then: If we did a newsletter, or a video cast, or sent out regular carrier pigeons to each of your houses, which would you most likely enjoy? And what kind of content would *you* like to see? As always, post your answers in this thread.
