Please help me make a great master thesis

25 June 2013 - 01:59 AM

Hey all my fellow Baldurs Gate Fans
I am writing this because I am in the middle of writing my Master Thesis in marketing and business innovation, and I was in the lucky position of being allowed to write about computer games industry, and using Baldur's Gate as a case study. So after Kaeloree gracefully allowed me to use this forum to gather data, I am writing here.

So why do I need help from you? Well my thesis are taking on one of the big questions: Why do people make mods…? (It might be phrased just a little bit different in my paper, but that is the idea of it)
…And to answer this question, I need you to help me.

So you might be thinking, ehmm what does this require from me, will it be costly, will it be time consuming etc.? Well – First I need you to answer some questions, either as answers in this thread, or if you are a bit more shy, via a PM message to me. Then I need you to indicate, if you will be interested in helping my further by letting me contact you, with follow up questions, and maybe an interview (can be done with Skype or another preferred communication form, both in text or voice). If you do not feel like being contacted further, I will still very much like to have your answers , just answer no to the last question and then I will bother you no more – just don’t let the contacting part being the reason that that you reject answering the questions in this thread…

So what will you get for doing this:
Well, since I am a poor student, the thing you will mostly get is a very nice “feel good” feeling in your stomach, for helping another in need, and maybe you also end up learning a thing or two about you own secret and dark motives for being part of the modding community (but I can not guaranty it).
So if you are up for it please answer the following questions either in a comment in this thread, or in a PM to me, if you feel your answers will be to private for a public forum:

I really hope you will help me by taken just a bit of time to answer my questions ;-)
