Fragster talks with Matthieu Dallon (55 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by xou @ 12:39 CDT, 11 May 2009 - iMsg

Event: ESWC'09

Tonight

Fragster released an interview with the most popular man behind Games-Services and ESWC.

David "R0cK3r" Donschen could talk with

Matthieu Dallon about the Games-Services' bankrupt, the business model they used, the missing prize money from past events and the hypothetical future of the ESWC.

Do you think that we can see an ESWC event in the near future?
M. Dallon: Considering the necessary time for a potential trade-in and then, the minimum time to sale sponsorships offers and to produce the event, we shall wait until the end of the year.

The full interview is available in English on Fragster.de. Also the same author wrote an in-depth article, "The End of a Great Dotcom Idea", covering the situation surrounding the GS bankrupt.
