[casual_games] marketing for studios

[Austin Haas]

Up until a few months ago, I worked for a publisher for almost 5 years. 
We could rarely ever find decent vendors. That's why I'm so oblivious to 
how people find each other.

The most we could ever do is go scour the web for games and try to do 
the detective work to find out who made them. We were pretty 
high-profile and we paid well, so I couldn't believe that we didn't have 
more people trying to contact us.

(I sent you a private email with our info. Thanks.)
