I'm creating the kind of games that I like right now. I'm not being held back by technology.

You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter.

I still like to play games that have a beginning, an end and a story.

The analogy I use is that 'World of Warcraft' is like going to the mall: you see a ton of people there, but you don't really want to interact with them; you just want to know you're part of the human...

The thought processes that go through my head when I'm playing a game compared to the thought processes in real life are very, very different. And they're more interesting to me than what you think...

It is very important to lead the field and innovate in game design.

The game-playing market today is pretty sizable.

You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.

There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.

What I didn't foresee in 2005 was the rise of the post-PC, which are all these tablets now. These are the things that actually will probably be the end of the consoles.
