I think DOOM had just the right mix of elements that keep people coming back to it: great monsters, excellent weapons with great balance, a spooky environment and extreme speed.

What I didn't foresee in 2005 was the rise of the post-PC, which are all these tablets now. These are the things that actually will probably be the end of the consoles.

The game-playing market today is pretty sizable.

The thought processes that go through my head when I'm playing a game compared to the thought processes in real life are very, very different. And they're more interesting to me than what you think about when you're doing the dishes, cleaning the yard, watching TV, driving or watching a movie.

We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve.

You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. Its logic-based creativity.

I've gone on record to say that I'm proud of the PC version of Daikatana and I stand behind that.
