David Simmonds Interview Discussion

[aridash]

regards the ads, to me what was indicated was that more view increase the amount paid by the advertiser. since ad revenue does not go into average loot but is added to the Hof/ATH bonus pool, it doesnt do an individual any good to sit and stare at the video. it just means some noober hunter/miner/crafter will get a 10k drop rather than a 5k (or what ever)

Hi,

sry, but as not native english speaker I understood exactly nothing and closed after about 20 secs. Audio quality is horrible, not helping me. Btw, I don't have any problems conversating with most drunken scots or texans in RL, so it really is the most poor audio quality.

This was done over cell phone, right? I'd really like a transcript, otherwise I cannot REP the interviewers.

Have fun!

good interview and interesting stuff

I have to conclude that talk radio is the perfect venue for MA "communication".

Thanks for preparing this, Red. I let it loop while i was hunting and was still picking out things i'd missed the third time through, so i can sympathize with the nonnative English speakers.

I really don't feel like i learned much from it that i didn't know. That's the biggest problem with generic questions with no follow-up, such as is encouraged by us submitting questions to you. I don't know a good way to solve that problem and recognize that there is limited depth to what they can answer, but i didn't feel like my question was very well answered. I know about sandbox2 and such, but i was referring more to the business side of their plans for integrating 3rd-party content -- the aspect i thought David would know more about.

Anyway, the good thing about this format is that there will be more to come from others, so thanks again for your initiative.
