[game_edu] thoughts on access to industry research

[Elias.]

Hi Susan,

Another option might be a corporate sponsored academic area/membership  
arrangement with recent (if not latest) reports...all/any companies  
could contribute (they get bragging rights and on screen/page real  
estate) and we get access to at least some of the more recent data/ 
reports...maybe after 6 months or some industry acceptable figure?

If there is a mechanism to ensure that academic access is actually  
coming from academics (maybe as simple as posting the reports or one- 
time login details to a confirmed academic email) then it could be run  
with almost no overhead.

Elias.
