We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve.
There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.
Doom 2 is just such a bigger, badder, better version of Doom
The game-playing market today is pretty sizable.
I still like to play games that have a beginning, an end and a story.
It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.
