The world needs more of this.<BR/><BR/>The games industry in particular suffers too much of the "listen only to people for the projects they worked on rather than whether they have anything useful to say, or are any good at explaining it".<BR/><BR/>(I even got removed as a conference speaker recently - after being cold-called and asked to speak by the organizers themselves in the first place! - simply because I left the large, famous MMO company I was working for to prepare a quiet startup)<BR/><BR/>Personally, I got lucky and started in an area (online games) where I found channels such as MUD-DEV (and early GDCs) for meeting, listening to, and speaking to other people where people were taken how they were found. Without those open and yet expert-filled channels, it might have taken me many years more to correct my naivety and fill out my understanding of core topics.<BR/><BR/>Of course it's much harder to judge and select based on skill and inherent value rather than track record, but I think it's worth trying.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, a couple of us are playing with the idea of getting a hotel meeting room and running a tiny, voluntary "Rejects Conference" in parallel with GDC this year for good talks from unknown people (and rejected-but-good talks from good people).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906432704839388361noreply@blogger.com
