When I'm working on games I don't think necessarily about what the end benefit of the game is going to be. Typically I'm trying to think of: "What can I do that is going to find new ways to entertain and surprise people."

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

A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time

Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.

When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.

I try not so much to create new characters and worlds but to create new game-play experiences.
