    Hello fellow gamers and Eurogamer readers,

    We are two masters thesis students from Denmark in dire need of your help for our research on consumer empowerment and participation in the video game industry!

    If you are an active gamer and above 18 years old we would like to invite you to participate in our focus group study.

    The focus group discussion will be conducted online, and you only need a webcam and mic to participate. So if you would like to participate in a (hopefully) interesting discussion with fellow gamers, please contact us here or on the e-mail address provided below.

    Due to being poor students we canīt offer you monetary compensation for your participation but we can offer you: either a steam game costing €10 or less, a Ģ10 PSN voucher or 800 Xbox Live Points.

    The focus groups will take place on January the ,
    5th,
    6th
    7th

    at 20:00 GMT and last for approximately one hour. Please include which date you would prefer. Also, if you know someone who might be interested feel free to pass it on.

    E-mail: mctehlers at gmail.com

    Kind regards,
    Eric and Malte
    Roskilde University -Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies.

    Edit: New dates!

    Maybe I could participate, can I speak English? As the only words I know in Danish is a pick up line someone taught me "Jeg laver killinger prut", "I make your pussy excited". Which is probably not appropriate for this exercise.

    @Razz

    Definetly, the focus groups will be in English :) btw. the "pickup line": 'Killinger' means Kittens and 'Prut' means fart.

    What will the focus group be on?  Gaming is a rather large topic. I would say yea I can help but I might not be able to contribute if it is something I have no view on.

    Itīs on consumer empowerment and participation. So generally how you view and exercise your influence, as well as participate in the gaming industry.

    I do not buy EA games as everyone complains about being screwed over.
    I do not buy Activision games as they do not interest me. (Same with Capcom since Clover was dispanded).

    I seem to buy a hell of a lot of Ubisoft games.

    Tend not to go online much as I have met far too many arseholes (usually kids). Also my love of JRPGs does not really translate to online play. Do like leaderboard challenges though. (Rayman Legends currently),

    We have had to set up new dates, due to not enough participants, and probably also because we chose some not very convenient dates. We hope the new ones are better. So please join if you want to participate, nothing is required apart from being an active gamer and above 18!

    A great way to break ice is getting a small cat to fart on it? Just use a Mr Frosty like everyone else you posh bastard!

    So the singular "kitten" translates as "killing"...?

    Why on earth do you have to have a webcam
    There isnīt a lot of software available for online qualitative research methods. In the one we were able to get a hold of it is a requirement, also there are some other methodological reasons.
    If you would like to participate send me an e-mail anyway, and we can set up something else perhaps.

    I would answer some questions in this thread, but have never used webcam chat thing.

    Also, Microsoft Points don't exist anymore.

    Now who is the Master and who is the Masters Students.
    You can still buy MS points cards online, when added these will then be converted to your local currency.
