Apparently, the flood of "media" members that have invaded game conferences over the last several years is forcing the Game Developers Conference (GDC) to follow the lead of E3 and D.I.C.E. and go to an invite only model. Brian Crecente over at Kotaku
learned from GDC show director Jamil Moledina that next season will be invite-only. One of the main reasons for going to this model is that many "writers" were very vigorous in their pursuit of interviews of the developers. I'm sure we will be hearing more on this in the future. If you have an opinion on this, feel free to post it in the comments.
