The Future of Digital Distribution Rests In Your Hands

Matt Penfield would like you to take a few moments to help him with a survey:

“This survey is part of a market analysis project focusing on digital distribution. The question I’m interested in answering is “Given supporting evidence from adjacent entertainment industries that both demand and infrastructure exist to support digital downloads, why is adoption so low in the game software segment?” If anyone has any questions/insight about the survey or the project, please email me at mpenfield <at> ucsd <dot> edu. As a special bonus, I’ll be drawing a name at random from the survey respondents to award some factory sealed PSP games. If you’ve got a PSP (or know someone who does) be sure to enter your name and mailing address on the last page of the survey.”

The survey is here. (Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated, just passing it on as a favor. It’s not my fault if the PSP game turns out to be Hello Kitty Island Adventures: The Collectible Electronic Card Game. Which, come to think of it, would be pretty cool. It’ll probably be something less cool like Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Or not. I’m just sayin’.)

    Thanks, Amber! For the record, the game(s) are TBD. But I’d never give up my copy of Hello Kitty Island Adventures (or HKIA, as we r0xx0r5 call it).

    Even better would be Metal Gear Kitty: Portable Ops – now *that* I’d like to see. :)

    Question six needs some help, in that it asks you to rank things from 1-4 but only provides three ranks.

    And I’d hella play Metal Gear Kitty: Portable Ops.

    I just assumed rank 4 was hiding and you needed sharp gaming skills to find it.

    FYI: number 12 (where I find out about new games) is from forums (MMORPG.com, for example) or other game sites. I checked blogger, as forum and other game sites were not offered as possible choices. You might want to incorporate an “other” field.

    By “you”, I meant the person who created the survey.

    Thanks, Whippet. I’ll keep that in mind when parsing the data. I’m sure you weren’t the only one who made that substitution.
