[quote='heffner',index.php?page=Thread&postID=17489 7#post174897]Is this article for Escapistmagazine.com? Does Escapistmagazine .com have any affiliation with ZAM Network / Affinity Media?
[/quote]this is the closest i found ([url='http://virtuallyblind.com/2007/08/21/xfire-debate-virtual-money/']link[/url] ):
Readers may be interested in a debate / panel discussion on game currency to be held today at 3PM Eastern time, hosted by Xfire. I’m one of the seven panelists. The others include a technology writer, the lead artist for Arden, a professor at USC, ZAM Network’s Content Manager, PR manager at NHN USA, and the CEO of Sparter. The event is hosted by Joe Blancato, Associate Editor at The Escapist magazine, and founder of Waterthread.org. It should be an interesting discussion.
i could not find any real connection otherwise (not without getting into tracking all names i came across... and that's too much like real work)
