When you think what someone thinks & do what they do, you'll find that you'll produce a similar result. - Marshall Sylver
My approach was to find the fun - what are the cool parts of this topic, amd bring them to life. - Sid Meier
Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun. - Sid Meier
Our goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for today's gamers. - Sid Meier
Our hope is to deliver an incredibly fun and compelling game that will give the fans more than what they've been waiting for, and show a whole new generation of gamers how much fun it is to live the life of a pirate! - Sid Meier
Right now we're working on finishing up Pirates! for the Xbox, we're developing Civilization IV and we've got a couple other games in development that we'll tell you about soon. - Sid Meier
Separately is probably how I work best with everyone, to be honest. I'm an introvert who likes people: I want to collaborate on the whole, but do my part individually. - Sid Meier
The irony is we thought we were behind the curve, that the industry had already peaked, and we were just trying to catch up. - Sid Meier
The key to most of our games, and many games, is that they give you the opportunity to tell your own story, as oppossed to you know reading someone else's story, and in that process you're actually learning something. - Sid Meier
The new Pirates! builds on that legacy delivering an even more powerful and fun experience to players... and is still unmatched in offering a blend of genres in one great game. - Sid Meier
We didn't have a road map at that point, we didn't have these genres that we had to stick to, we could just make whatever game we felt like. - Sid Meier
We think we've got it taken care of now. Multiplayer is something that's hard to do in a turn-based game, especially a turn-based game that lasts a long time, like Civilization. - Sid Meier
We'd love to do Pirates for the 21st century. People have also asked about Colonization, and a few others. - Sid Meier
Whatever it is you want to be good at, you have to make sure you continue to read, and learn, and seek joy elsewhere, because you never know where inspiration will strike. - Sid Meier
Your imagination was a key component in a game that had 4 colours and, you know, a 320 resolution screen. You had to add a lot in your mind to bring that to life. - Sid Meier
Everybody understands that you're supposed to say 'our employees are our most valuable asset' to the point where, even if it's really true, they're not going to really trust you until you've earned that - same with customers. - Gabe Newell
A lot of times I make people better by getting stupid, distracting, bureaucratic stuff off their desk. That's an incredibly easy way to make a senior person more productive. - Gabe Newell
A store is just a collection of content. The Steam store is this very safe, boring entertainment experience. Nobody says, 'I'm going to play the Steam store now.' - Gabe Newell
About half the people at Valve have run their own companies, so they always have the option not just to take a job at another game company, but to go start their own company. The question you always have to answer is, 'How are we making these people more valuable than they would be elsewhere?' - Gabe Newell
As somebody who participates in the overall PC ecosystem, it's totally great when faster wireless networks and standards come out or when graphics get faster. Windows 8 was like this giant sadness. It just hurts everybody in the PC business. - Gabe Newell
At Harvard I learned how to drink beer while doing a headstand in the snow. Which, y'know, it's a useful skill, but not nearly as useful as how to actually develop software. - Gabe Newell
C'mon, people, you can't show the player a really big bomb and not let them blow it up. - Gabe Newell
