That is the question. I think she will cover it if the story is interestign enough. Now I know of course this is a very riveting story to us, gamers, and how a corporation closed a product we invested heavily in without warning but when it boils down to that level of Oprah, how does this appeals to the worldwide audience. People that dont play video games, people who think video games are something that people do when they should be doing something else. And what angle should be the attack? Should it go that we invested countless hours in a video game instead of spending those hours, and money either on family or investments that can grow? Is that the angle we want?
Last time I say anything about video games on Oprah was once when she had a psycologist on there talking about the harm of video games and the audience was eating it up. Then the other time was wit hthat Dr Phil dude and some teenager talking about how video games was his escape and how it helped him through the tough times while it was viewed as not healthy and that the teenager basically alienated everyone in his life while devoting time to video games. Asa gamer, I understood that teenager but to the audience, it was a teenager who was addicted to games and throwing his life away aka unhealthy behavior.
I think that if we are goign to go this route, then we should go at an angle of how companies exhibit this behavior often and this just so happen to be a video game but a product that people invest in nonetheless. Or somethign along those lines. Last thing we need is for Oprah to really do pick up on this situation and it get turned into a group of gamers just pissed off because someone took their toy away. Then at that point, we might as well hang it up on looking for any outside support for our cause outside the gaming world. All Im saying is that make sure the angle is something that people that is outside COX players can relate to or else we will come off as just merely whining gamers that should be doing something more constructive instead of belly aching over a closed game. We all here of course know it's about more than that but we have to convey that to the general population if we are goign to go this route.
While contacting Oprah about this is a good idea, I wonder if we think we can get Oprah to cover this, what happened to all the other media stuff? I mean I havent seen much outside that small iCNN article, which seemed to be buried and not even really accessible unless you already knwo it exist, and nothing on ABC, Fox, and other major new outlet but we are going to tackle the biggest most influential media personality out there yet couldnt get the smaller ones outside the gaming world to pick it up? Man, one thing is for sure, you all have some huge balls. I say go for it.
