Warren Spector on Licensing
An anonymous reader writes about an "interview with Warren Spector about his thoughts on licensing movies for games. From the article: 'At these Hollywood meetings, the same thing has happened to me more than once, with multiple people...I describe the game I want to do. I tell them I can deliver you a triple-A title for this cost...Spector names a high figure; no one has ever yet written a check that big...They think it over. Then they say...What could you do with twice as much money?'"
Why do people still listen to this guy?
This is the guy who ruined Deus Ex, his own franchise. Why on earth should we want to hear what he has to say about what to do with other franchises?
I'll stop being cynical when the world allows
I believe his quote was, "Gramps, this game fucking sucks."
Real stand up grand kid ya got there, pops. So did you do a crummy job raising your son, and this is just the by-product of it, or did that loose tramp of a daughter-in-law result in that garbaged mouth punk? And to his own grandfather? Whatever, he'll be strung out on drugs and living in an alley before too long, but you'll probably be six feet under by then. Keep buying his violent video games in the mean time, at least it makes you feel good. Me, I think the whole thing fucking sucks.
GASP! a LIBERAL?! Ma, Pa, get the pitchforks, we gotta drive em outta town!
