    "Or will Wright go more mainstream to get a bigger audience?"
    Why would you think that what Wright creates wouldn't have mainstream appeal? Look at the games he has been responsible - some of the biggest selling games to the non-gamer. He's always been able to create content that was interesting to a large number of people.

    Strange. I've heard that `Lew Morton' is a fake name which writers use to sign material which is so bad that they don't want to take credit for it.

    from this page...

    In response to a rumor that Lew Morton is not a real person, Paul Simms responded with:

    "No, Lew Morton is a real writer, but often the episodes on which he gets a "Written By" credit aren't very good ones. It's probably just a coincidence."
