Partying is not a sane way to spend money, but it's fun. When we were young, we did not have a lot of money at all, so I thought, 'If I ever get rich, I'm not going to become one of those boring rich people who doesn't spend money.' - Markus Persson
PC gaming has always been strong, and I see it surviving for quite a few more years. It will be around for at least as long as people use PCs. - Markus Persson
Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking. - Markus Persson
Steam is not really leading the PC in any creative way, but it certainly has proved that the PC is a viable commercial platform by having a product that is amazingly easy to use for the end user, to the point where it's easier to buy a game on Steam than it is to pirate it. - Markus Persson
The more consoles the better, because if there's more competition, they might get more open. - Markus Persson
