Just a quick update to inform everyone that our Director of Product Development Tim Gerritsen has been added to the Journalists vs. Developers: The Ultimate Grudge Match on Friday afternoon. It will be an excellent panel right at the opening of PAX East, so be sure to attend!
Game developers can’t stand those damned journalists, the way they pick apart your three years of hard work with a review they wrote in an afternoon. And journalists don’t understand why game developers won’t listen to all of their great ideas! What happens when we force some of the industry’s most opinionated writers and developers to hash out their issues in front of an audience? Will they finally see eye-to-eye, or kill each other in public? Watch as writers Chris Kohler (Wired.com) and Patrick Klepek (G4) square off against game creators John Drake (Harmonix) and another guest from the industry.
When: Friday 2:00pm – 3:00pm
Where: Manticore Theatre
Who: Tim Gerritsen [Director of Product Development, Irrational Games], Chris Kohler [Editor, Games, Wired.com], John Drake [Publicist, Harmonix Music Systems], Patrick Klepek [News Editor, G4], Jeff Green [Editor-in-Chief, EA]

Would have liked to see a few more bloggers in there, like guys from Joystiq, Giant Bomb, or Kotaku, but this looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to see the results.

This panel should be a lot of fun. There is some great potential for a few lighthearted stabs between the two sides of this battle.
