That is indeed a direct quote. He has phrased it in slightly different ways in many different talks. I built on that to make a more complex summary of a great game, but Sid told me he thought his simple one was best.

I had a joke about Prometheus but it wasn’t funny. Probably because of the endlessly repeating delivery

I was so happy to see this precede my talk about the value of simplicity! Inadvertent tag-teaming

This article suggests we may be on the verge of a apocalyptic technology (no, not AI). But in Roger Zelazny's "Doorways in the Sand", a favorite of mine from decades ago, he suggested it might also make cheap scotch taste great, so there's that! www.yahoo.com/news/scienti...

I can't argue with the choice of the top two games here 😀. I remember discussions with @davidbfox.com and @grumpygamer.com about abruptly ending the IJ&TLC game by punching Hitler was a good idea, I'm glad for at least this reviewer appreciated it! www.si.com/videogames/g...

I discovered that principle by mentioning a feature in the game manual that we failed to implement, then after launch players started complimenting us on it.

I've got mixed feelings about this, with so many good associations with the original. It was a key part of Spielberg's pitch to us on The Dig, he's a fan too - shame he isn't in on the remake, he would take it seriously. Fingers crossed.

I bonded with Dani Bunten over the realization we loved making games because it was one of the few times in our childhood our whole family came together in a happy activity. But your reason is equally poignant!
