I feel that the question asking how much time was spent playing games on a PC could have been worded a little better or even broken down into a couple of questioms.
I'm basing this opinion on an assumption that by PC what you are really asking is how much time is spent playing games on a windows based computer. By asking the question in this way the opportunity to gather marketing data on linux, mac and other non-windows operating systems is missed.
Now whilst we, the linux and mac users, have been very vocal on our respective forums they are not really a controlled and measurable emough location to gather really useful data. This is not only a lost opportunity for your marketing department but also for us linux and mac users.
I for one would welcome the chance to stand up and be counted. I respectfully request that the next time a "PC" question is asked that we are at least given a chance.

Wow, this survey must be idiot proof cause I can't even get to it.. I follow the link and get a screen telling me about the survey and a big button saying 'TAKE SURVEY' which I click on... that takes me to an offical msg in my inbox..
The msg in my inbox again tells me about the survey and thanks me for taking part, the only clickable option in the msg is 'Details Here' which takes me back in a circle to the other screen 
There are also clickable options on each screen to check my email if needed (which I have and it's fine) and to 'Discuss' which brought me here... what ? |

you forgot the turn based strategy genre!!! 
totally different games than real time strategy 
and your answer scale for "how often do you visit nwn.bioware.com" was way too short.... 5+ times per week? try 5+ times per day!   |

I think what they're really looking for is to see the PC versus Console market.
Why would they do this? Crappy console games sell more copies than good PC games do on average. And the almight Dollar (or Yen, Ruble, Pound whatever you have) speaks loudly to the Suits.
Its a worrisome thing for a PC owner to see companies taking these kinds of polls. At least this PC owner anyway.

I'm in Milamber357's camp. I can't even get to the survey, in exactly the same reasons! What gives? Is there a secret link I'm not clicking? |

I have the same problem. It's as if someone already completed the survey for me.

I too have a problem getting to the survey.... at first i thought it might have something to do with the fact that i'm on acid... but this is obviously NOT the case, as others are having the same problems....what the hell.. |

I'm having the same problem getting to the survey, too - the "Take Survey" button just links to the official message, which links to the page with the "Take Survey" button!
What gives? Am I being dim and missing something obvious? |
