Yes... well, I used to have a pilot's license.

I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.

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.

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

It's rewarding to be able to change people's perceptions of reality, ... They just see their environment in a different way. They have a kind of different-colored glasses that they can see their world in. To me, that's really cool - when games can change you.

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.

Television is a very different thing from video games. It's kind of hard for me to compare.
