Compared with games, reality is disconnected.

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

There is so much more knowledge than most people realize about how to maximize the benefits of play and minimize the potential harms.

When you strip away the genre differences and the technological complexities, all games share four defining traits: a goal, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participation.

The real world just doesn’t offer up as easily the carefully designed pleasures, the thrilling challenges, and the powerful social bonding afforded by virtual environments. Reality doesn’t motivate us as effectively. Reality isn’t engineered to maximize our potential. Reality wasn’t designed from the bottom up to make us happy.

When we're in game worlds, I believe that many of us become the best version of ourselves - the most likely to help at a moment's notice, the most likely to stick with a problem as long at it takes, to get up after failure and try again.

I don't want to be a saint; I just want to help people.
