I feel more reassured with physical media. Entertainment is something that will not just become digital.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.

In other words, I'm not intending to start from things that require a five-year development time.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.
