Or when a public relationsrepresentative scurries over during my interview to tell me that they're 'nottalking about that right now,' because video game messaging has become such adelicate balancing act. From the press side, I've seen what it looks like when a developer is nervous about a demo, hoping I don't try to open that one door that crashes the whole thing, because early demos are exactly that: early. That's sometimes involved being ushered intoAC-chilled rooms with only a waft of heat from rows of PCs pumping life into early demos of what would, hopefully, become the next big selling titles. I've been around video games my whole life, but professionally for about seven years.
