I typically go overboard when I research new projects.

The new generation of consoles has as much power to do the kind of games that we do as the PC does.

Because now it's the fans out there that are entertaining us, the developers, with their creations!

And so from that, I've always been fascinated with the idea that complexity can come out of such simplicity.

And every now and then people find the bugs, and they interpret those as cool failures in the Sims terms. For them it's like a treasure hunt, you know.

Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.

Everybody has a different definition of the good side.
