The kinds of games I'm most interested in are narrative games.

We are essentially in the business of telling stories. We would like to think that most of our stories are basically human stories with sports as a backdrop.

The video game market is huge, and the ability to tell stories, and tell different kinds of stories in the gaming space is quickly evolving and changing for the better.

I believe that even today we can only tell a simple story without really interfering with gameplay. But in the future, I think it will almost be a requirement of all storytellers when they create games, how they can tell a more complex story without conflicting with the gameplay.

History is full of really good stories. That's the main reason I got into this racket: I want to make the argument that history is interesting.

'Game of Thrones' is the broadest of narratives. I don't know if anyone in the U.S. has done a story on such a large scale before, both in terms of what George R.R. Martin wrote and what's on the show.

Games have a huge impact on our society because the media plays a role in helping to shape our attitudes. So it's not just fantasy.

Story may not be a great addition to some games - games where action is the whole reason for the game to exist.

I let my game do the talking. I've had incidents like that but when I compare my own story to the stories that have happened forty or fifty years ago particularly to Jackie Robinson for example.

I'm fascinated with the stories that we tell. Real histories become fantasies and fairy tales, morality tales and fables. There's something interesting and funny and perverse about the way fairytale sometimes passes for history, for truth.
