Meggan Scavio Talks GDC 2009
She’s the new public face of the Game Developers Conference and Crispy Gamer had a chat with her:
Crispy Gamer: Let’s talk about the nuts and bolts of what GDC means. The mainstream consumer only really knows E3, in that it’s the most heavily covered videogame event…
Scavio: Yeah. You know, when it comes down to it, GDC is for developers and it’s really technical. Most consumers wouldn’t understand a lot of what happens. I don’t understand a lot of what happens! [Laughs] That’s why we have an advisory board. The GDC doesn’t speak directly to consumers.
Crispy Gamer: Do you feel consumers can get anything out of paying attention to GDC?
Scavio: GDC shows what’s going to be popular or big in a few years, so they’re getting an early peek at the technology and direction of videogames. They’re going to see what’s on their shelf, or what they’re going to be digitally downloading, in the next three or four years.
