Because now it's the fans out there that are entertaining us, the developers, with their creations! - Will Wright
Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them. - Will Wright
For me games are half psychology, half technology, and it's the balance between the two which really is essential to make a good game. - Will Wright
For me, money was just like this medium of currency that I used exclusively for going to stores and buying models. - Will Wright
For me, what's a more important question is how we get at least the option of more diverse experiences in this media. - Will Wright
I find it refreshing to unplug from it for a while. You kind of forget how deeply you get embedded in it. - Will Wright
I spent half my childhood building little models of planes and tanks and ships, and my mother said I would amount to nothing. - Will Wright
I think by exploring the bad side you're really just mapping the envelope of the system... you're getting a sense of how far off you can go. - Will Wright
I think for most people, their kind of general aesthetic with games is that the more I control this experience, the better the game is. - Will Wright
I think the idea of having a game based on reality is compelling right off the bat because everyone has some experience with the subject of the game. - Will Wright
I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it. - Will Wright
In an online community, there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot, but there's no real gameplay there. - Will Wright
In some sense that fear of not dropping the ball can really hurt you, in terms of not stretching and kind of going off in interesting new directions. - Will Wright
In the game industry it's kinda important to realize that you're really programming two different processors - there's the computer in front of you with it's processor that you're programming in some symbolic computer language, that's on the technology side, but the other processor is even more difficult to programme and the game really is happening in, is the player's mind, the player's imagination. - Will Wright
It almost feels like a zombie at this point; it's the walking dead. It's such an abrupt end to what was E3, which had been this huge escalating arms race....Right now we're in this kind of dicey, do we have an event, what event is it, which one do we go to? I think we're in an uncomfortable transition zone when really the real E3 died a couple of years ago. - Will Wright
It used to be that you knew your neighbors and maybe your coworkers - the people in your physical vicinity. - Will Wright
It's gotten to the point now where I surf the fan sites everyday and download cool things the fans have created, which is really ironic in a way! - Will Wright
It's rewarding to be able to change people's perceptions of reality, ... They just see their environment in a different way. They have a kind of different-colored glasses that they can see their world in. To me, that's really cool - when games can change you. - Will Wright
Players like to know that they've discovered things that even the designers didn't know were in the game. - Will Wright
Somebody asked me what I thought next generation meant and what about the PlayStation 3 was next generation. The only next gen system I've seen is the Wii - the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement. - Will Wright
Television is a very different thing from video games. It's kind of hard for me to compare. - Will Wright
