    Default Capcom Focus Group

    I just got this email from Capcom and ARGH its on the wrong side of the country!


    If you live in the San Francisco Bay area we want to talk to you!

    CAPCOM® will be conducting focus group that will discuss fighting games on the evening of Wednesday, April 28 in Sunnyvale, California

    If you are a male between the ages of 17 and 30, and are interested in participating we invite you to come to the facility for a discussion group.

    If you qualify, the discussion will last approximately 90 minutes and participants will be paid $75.

    We have hired an independent research company to conduct these discussions. Please reply by clicking on the address (or paste it into your email window) fightgames1@nicholsresearch.com and be sure to include your name, age, and phone number so the research company can call you with details.

    Thanks for your participation!

    CAPCOM®

    Cause males tend to play more fighting games (lame answer), and or the survey/focus group is looking at the tendencies of men, and not women (probable answer).
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    Seems to me they should be looking at the tendencies of people who play fighting games period. But whatever.

    if you are in the area, copy that email and just show up. if you have any kind of knowledge on the subject, it would be hard for them to deny you.

    Why does it say 17 to 30?

    That's age discrimination!

    Yep it's in Frisco and you're right, they should have it open to anyone who plays fighting games not just guys. $75 is pretty good cash. The most I've ever gotten for a survey was $25 and I was shocked when the check actually showed up.

    Just for those wondering, focus groups usually consist of the same sex within the same age group. The company wants to find out about a specific portion of a population, not get a general overview. Things get too confusing when you start involving different age groups, sexes, etc. Sadly, I actually paid attention once in a while in the marketing classes I was forced to take.
