Hi everyone
I'm doing a small project for my Media Studies course about simulator game marketing and advertising. I've done a SHORT anonymous questionnaire - I'd love it if you had 2 minutes to nip over and fill it in:

Thanks y'all
Ash

I hope you all picked artwork or I'll be very disappointed.

Hey, thanks everyone for filling it in, and for the feedback - much appreciated. Totally understand if you think it might be a marketing ruse or a bot, but I reckon you'd have sussed it pretty quick if it was.
I've done a zip file of the results if you're curious, here: http://www.rtscommunity.com/forums/index.php/topic,2734.0.html. Since crunching the data I've had more responses - up to about 74 now. I posted the link on a couple of other sites too, at RTSCommunity.com and CivFanatics.com.
The best response I got was for the question about how you access info about new games - in the 'Other' box someone put "Your mother", LOL
For my project I have to design a front and back cover for a fictional computer game and an advert, along with all the planning and evaluation
My made-up game is a government/economy simulation game where you have to manage a country and relations with other countries to create an eco friendly world in order to save the planet from a seemingly inevitable course to destruction from global warming/climate change! Hence the links to those two similar games I found.
I found another 'serious game' (as they're known) about solving the Middle East crisis, called Peacemaker. It's an online game at www.impactgames.com. Just thought I'd pass that on coz it looks pretty cool.
I'm sure there's no-one still reading at this point, but thanks again anyway.
Ash

Ah an idealist. I'll give you 5 years before you realize that eco friendly doesn't make much money. Besides, the sooner we destroy this planet, the sooner we can colonize Jupiter.

Ah a cynic. I'll give you 5 years before you realize that being cynical doesn't make much sense -- it's so easy to be cynical about everything, and it doesn't advance you one step. (Don't take this personal, Indra -- I know you're not a cynic. Not always, anyway...)
In the end, being ecological will be the same as being economical. Big insurance companies are already aware of that fact. Of course, it will take so long for other companies to realize that it'll probably be too late.
Personally, I like people who try to do good things, caring for good ol' Mother Earth. And I don't want to live on Jupiter! The gravity's so high, we'll all have real weight problems.
