How can game educators prepare their students for a place in the ever-changing games industry?

In this keynote from the Game Education Summit, held in Dallas last week, Junction Point’s Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Mark Meyers took a look at the issues inherent in the game biz, with Spector admitting he’s "so tired of making games about guys in black leather carrying guns."

Why lock the last thread when it already had a few replies? Gawd, sometimes you guys are too "by the book" around here

It's because we would get complaints of "Where has my post gone" if we deleted the duplicate post with replies.Then it would leave admin to look through the archive and take up more time than needed.

Thats the reason.And normal members don't see deleted threads.Im aware some post do get missed both by members or staff.It just happens.If the was no replies in the previous thread you would not of seen it to begin with.

Believe me you would not khow difficult the News/Gaming News archive is to keep running whilst trying to keep duplicate post to as minimum as possible.
