But if we are to believe what we hear on our forums and in conversations with listeners, yeah, our shows have helped sales across the board. It's kind of hard to know for sure because there's almost no way to track direct impact of our shows on sales (except on some indie games, where the direct correlation of shows and sales were easily tracked since the numbers are more manageable - I'm thinking of Spirit of the Century in particular here, and Fred can certainly attest to how actual play and general talk helped fuel sales). Pulp Gamer is sponsored by Mayfair Games, and based on conversations, Mayfair has seen enough data to feel that the reviews the guys have done on Game Kennel or Family Night have helped sales and made it worth continuing that support.This is all anecdotal, of course (and unfortunately, as hard numbers would be awesome), but there is evidence, if we are to believe our listeners on forums and in conversations, that games of all stripes have benefited in some sales from our shows.Your question, by the way, is one I intend to explore during the panel.Again, it depends with which yarstick you are measuring, though yes, I agree that when compared to larger forms of digital media, we still have a ways to go. And that's precisely the reason why I posted here, to get your points of view on the matter.And I would be in complete agreement with you, but I'm not running the "Amazon & the Gaming Industry" panel.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Yep, it will come out as part of The Digital Front and via Pulp Gamer's Gen Con 2008 Podcasting Panels feed.</blockquote>
