Every game designer should make one explicitly world-changing game. Lawyers do pro bono work, why can't we?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve.
I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.
I think lawyers who engage in pro bono service to protect those who cannot help themselves are truly the heroes and the heroines of the legal profession.
Though I respect hugely the effort and the care and the beauty of games, I want to be working with people who want to create the 'War & Peace' of games, the 'Citizen Kane' of games, and not just be warming up George Romero.
Games are work. There are economies popping up in games now because people value them.
This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
There are too many games being developed by people that have no business creating games.
As for lawyers, it's more fun to play one than to be one.
Even when I'm playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being.
My job is to persuade people to toe the line and play within the laws of the game.
