Games are unnecessary obstacles we volunteer to tackle.

Urgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success.

Every game designer should make one explicitly world-changing game. Lawyers do pro bono work, why can't we?

Game developers know that people have more fun when they're in large groups. They feel more fired up when the challenges are more epic.

There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.

Growing up, I was prone to anxiety.

If you make it a game, gamers will play it no matter what your motivation is in making it.
