Any time I consider a new project, I ask myself, is this pushing the state of gaming toward Nobel Prizes? If it's not, then it's not doing anything important enough to spend my time.

I want to see a game designer nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it's always worth trying and trying now.

We can boost our immune systems by strengthening our social networks and decreasing stress.

When we play a game, we tackle tough challenges with more creativity, more determination, more optimism, and we're more likely to reach out to others for help.

Compared with games, reality is disconnected.

I see a future in which games once again are explicitly designed to improve quality of life, to prevent suffering, and to create real, widespread happiness.
