I think I should tell you something about that Nvidia party.
The "porn star" incident WAS NOT a planned thing by the producers of that event. I happen to know the individuals involved and it was simply a matter of someone stumbling into a party - it was a case of a party being crashed and the big media picking up on something that NEVER really happened the way they said it did.
Interesting comments so far on my first Slashdot posting.
I find the real problem is the divide between outsourced PR firms - and those on the inside that are truly immersed in the gaming world. To an outsourced firm, a game producer/developer/whatever is just another client - yet the paradigms that apply to the gaming biz are different from those in typical industries requiring heavy PR support.
