- 11/17/08 - Gamasutra has excerpts from an interview with Frogboy that touches on EWoM slightly here.
It has also been posted about on dozens of gamer forums that I know of and on some none game blogs to boot! It seems the word is out and the title is gaining lots of momentum within the gaming community and beyond.
Note: I have seen EWoM news reports on sites from 30+ countries outside of North America and in as many languages. Some of the countries with more then one report or pimp are:
India, Romania, China, Russia, Japan, Spain, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Norway, Brazil, Sweden, Israel, Greece, Korea, Sweden, Estonia, Philippines, Bulgaria, Austria, Solvenia, Hungary, Thailand, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Turkey, Egypt, and Taiwan
Strange Stuff:
Oddly enough there are over 27k EWoM torrents already. - WTF? I wish I lived in that universe!
