Quoted. Sort of.

After the exciting release of the report that I wrote with DFC Intelligence on the game activities of big media companies, Business Week is running a story this week that seems informed by my writing.

In this case it’s about Viacom and specifically MTVN. The article lays out the acquisitions and game-related arrangements of the past couple of years. Totaling $800 million, the MTV shopping spree gobbled up big names like NeoPets and Harmonix.

Anyway, you can go read the article here, and buy the report here.
