Greg Lastowka’s Video Game Developers UGC Survey

Prof. Greg Lastowka of the Rutgers University School of Law is doing some important research on User Generated Content and needs the help of video game developers. So if you are a game developer please help. If you know game developers ,please pass on to them Greg’s personal message below:

“Hello! My name is Greg Lastowka and I’m a Professor of Law at Rutgers University.  As part of my current research on user-generated content practices online,  I’m conducting a survey on game developer attitudes toward UGC as an element of video games. A prior survey was taken by over 400 players of video games and I’m curious to see how developer attitudes compare with the attitudes of players.  The survey should take about 20-30 minutes to complete (depending on whether you answer the optional questions) and all responses will be kept anonymous.

You can reach the survey via this link: http://bit.ly/playerauthors2

After results have been collected and analyzed, the data from the survey (and other components of the larger project) will be posted here: http://player-authors.rutgers.edu/

p.s. It’s fine if multiple employees within a studio complete the survey — part of what we’re looking at is how developers with various levels of experience might have different attitudes about UGC.”
