Somethings you may never know behind the scenes, till someone tells you. I caught this earlier in this New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/16/technology/16tube.html?ex=1376625600&en=7810ca8f25b7fedb&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink) in relations to Spore, EA and Youtube
Electronic Arts, the video game publisher, has taken Video ID a step further, using it to encourage user submissions. In a promotion for the coming video game Spore, E.A. encouraged gamers to upload original Spore creatures they created using a software program. There were more than 100,000 submissions, and some attracted hundreds of thousands of views. E.A. used Video ID to claim the most popular user videos and share in the ad revenue on them.
Makes you want to go hmmm....I wonder how much EA made on Sporn ;)
