Much deserved congratulations to 42Entertainment!!

Flynn Lives was an amazing experience for me as a Tron fan since '82 and I can only dream that it isn't quite over yet. So many moments during the ARG had me physically pinching myself as they seemed so unbelievably cool. And while I was unable to attend the SDCC or Wondercon live events due to my location and lack of funds, just knowing that they were taking place and living through them thanks to online coverage was simply breathtaking. And it was not only a life memory for myself, but a bonding experience with my young sons. Seeing the looks on their faces as Encom postcards arrived in the mail as rewards for their Circuit Cycle skills, explaining the history of video games as we hunted for the answers to the Arcade Aid pics, driving up to Kansas City as a family for Tron Night... words cannot express my gratitude for these gifts, but as I said back when we were told "Game Over" with a smile from Clu, "Thank You, 42Entertainment", is all I can say. Thank you, so much.

Thanks for posting all of this, it's a pleasure to read.

Even thought, as far as I was, I couldn't participate in all the stuff that happened, it was a thrill to see it unfold in real time.

THEA AWARDS PHOTOS & EXCLUSIVE Q&A WITH 42 ENTERTAINMENT

[Rogi Ocnorb]

Nice interview Dave.
I am somewhat surprised that they didn't acknowledge one of the fundamental elements that's put them at the top of the heap; Their respect for the players.
They state that people are more willing to give out PII than they were 5 years ago and there's some truth in that. But, except for the truly immature, who will always be learning lessons about bad decisions along those lines, people are willing to get engaged and invest time in these things because the providers have made a concerted effort to make them safer and more rewarding.
There aren't many recreational outlets on the web I will share information with as freely I do with 42 Entertainment as they've earned a certain level of trust by being the professionals they are.
There are a lot of other companies that would like to be in the same place; But, just... can't (or won't). Consequently, we watch their stuff float on by; Giving them tertiary interest and never developing a level of trust that will allow them to do really cool things for us until, eventually, they lose interest in producing content.
