Green Man Gaming spoke at the Europe Customer Loyalty Festival on Sept 17.
Green Man told us what he knows about gamers loyalty. About them being dedicated, seeking gratification and reward, but mostly they just want entertainment, escapism and achievement (Sounds like the rest of us).

Is that the display of a man who wants to click his heals to find his home on social? If it is, he’s being very practical about it, working with a crew of helpful sidekicks, travelling the yellow click road of authentic links.
To be clear, there were two points:
#Oxford Professor #StuartDiamond explaining his latest book ‘Getting More’ – negotiation tactics for a modern world.
2 Creative Directors and 1 Designer in a tub and the Designer says…
In the offices of POSSIBLE and Grey London yesterday, as well as the obligatory beer, there were presentations from 3 interesting men on Brand Building in the Digital Age.
