Because now it's the fans out there that are entertaining us, the developers, with their creations!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our job as the game creators or developers - the programmers, artists, and whatnot - is that we have to kind of put ourselves in the user's shoes. We try to see what they're seeing, and then make it, and support what we think they might think.
Usually, new producers and writers want to put their stamp on a show. They don't want to continue what's working. They want to reinvent the wheel. It's an ego thing.
We want to create content that our fans will like but at the same time stretches us creatively, with our own little touch.
Because storytelling, and visual storytelling, was put in the hands of everybody, and we have all now become storytellers.
The fans have what they want. They want entertainment, they want passion and they want commitment.
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.
The fans have to realize that as opinionated as y'all are in the way you want it, the company is the same way, and they're gonna do what they wanna do... at the end of the day, I'm just a guy getting rich.
Because I don't give the studios advanced quotes or an advanced look at my reviews. I think the readers deserve to read my reviews before the studios do.
You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.
You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.
