The GamesIndustry.biz Network launches
Press Release
Brighton, England, May 12th, 2008: GamesIndustry.biz is proud to announce the launch of the GamesIndustry.biz Network, a business networking tool that allows games industry professionals to connect with each other.
GamesIndustry.biz has long been regarded as the most important games industry website for news, features and jobs, but today’s launch is its first step in becoming the hub of the vibrant global games industry community.
Unlike other social networks, it’s not just about talking to your existing contacts. It’s an opportunity to get in touch with new people across the globe to create genuine business opportunities. The network is only open and visible to established members of the games industry and you can be sure that the contacts you make will be relevant to the business of games.
Using the Network’s events section, you will be able to make the most of hectic trade shows by finding out who else is attending and arrange to meet them. The first of these partnered events is the Nordic Game Conference and Career Expo 2008, taking place later this week in Malmo, Sweden. As part of GamesIndustry.biz’s long-running partnership with Nordic Game, the network will be hosting a meeting place for event delegates as well as sponsoring the evening’s drinks reception.
GamesIndustry.biz will also be organising regular social events via the network - make sure you are signed up so you don’t miss out.

Of course it’s not shit, I designed it.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
You’re only as good as your last site, mart. Just remember that. Everyone’s waiting for your big fail.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Yup… that looks like a website to me.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
It is cool, honestly. I’m not actually lying.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I’m sure it’s great. Thankfully I don’t work in the industry any more though. =)

/realises what he’s doing now doesn’t suck any less
May 12th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
You’re a big fail.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
No doubt. \o/
May 12th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
I’ve been told I’ve got to wait up to 48 hours! I want instant access goddammit!
May 12th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Not you, Psychotext. HIM.
morriss: That’s the price you pay for exclusivity. Just think how elite you’ll be when/if you’re approved. Imagine how that’ll feel. Ooooohhh…
May 12th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
morriss: You need a work email addy that is linked to your company - which is why it didn’t work immediately. You do have one… right?
May 12th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
He’d better get fucking approved.
*looks over top of glasses*
May 12th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
raups: yeah. I just accepted Pat’s invite basically. My email addy is mike@vg247…etc.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
You used your vg247 address, didn’t you?
*looks over top of glasses*
May 12th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I didn’t change anything. My email addy was already filled out on the invite you sent.
All I changed was what sort of person I was. As there was no “C**t” option I chose Journalist instead.

May 12th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Weird. Your email address doesn’t show. I’ll add it manually.
/effort
May 12th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I’m in!
Thanks raups. Sorry you had to go to ALL THAT TROUBLE!
May 12th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Wow, it’s bloody good though. Nice one AMG and everyone involved. It’s almost as though I’m important.
May 12th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Impressive. The sign-up tool even recognised my ickle company. This promises to be Zod-like in its supremacy.
May 12th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
AMG? What?
May 12th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
The user AMG here on vg247.
May 12th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Yeah I got that, but what’s he got to do with it like?
May 12th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Well unless I’m confused he told me in Spain that he was heading the project or something.
May 12th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I’ve got no idea what you’re on about!
May 12th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I’ll send you a PM on the other site. Easier.
May 12th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Done
May 12th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
That’s that cleared up then
May 12th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Looks like I was wrong. So no congratulations to AMG after all!
May 13th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Congratulate me anyway, I live for the praise.
May 13th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
May 13th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
He so does. Well done, AMG. You deserve it.
May 13th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Go AMG!
May 13th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I love AMG. He’s the best.
May 13th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Out of all the new and exciting people I met in Spain, AMG was by far the funniest and best looking of the lot.
