It's a mistake for Hollywood to impose themselves on the gaming space. Not only is it arrogant, but it hasn't really worked.

I think that if Hollywood has a problem, it constantly underestimates the intelligence and integrity of fans.

I don't think there's room in video games for people to bring an ego. It's very frustrating for any actor to have someone who's a celebrity take over your place. Like the 'Uncharted' film, they're trying to find someone to play Nathan Drake. And it's like, why do they not think of us? We do this.

So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.

We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve.

I don't want to criticize any other designers, but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.

Hollywood has a way of sucking the world's talent to it.

People always make these generalized statements about Hollywood, and there's all kinds of people in Hollywood.

Personally I find there is just as much if not more creativity among game makers as there is among feature filmmakers.

Film buffs who don't live in Hollywood have a fantasy about what it's like to be a director. Movies and the people who make movies have such glamour associated with them. But the truth is, it's not like that. It's very different. It's hard work.
