No game designer ever went wrong by overestimating the narcissism of their players.

I think the idea of having a game based on reality is compelling right off the bat because everyone has some experience with the subject of the game.

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.
