Miyamoto Gives Advice to Game Design Hopefuls
grenada writes "As reported by Ars Techncia, Shigeru Miyamoto has some good advice for aspiring game developers. Instead of telling kids to focus on video games, he actually says that it's beneficial to diversify your education and personal interests. He says that meeting people and familiarizing yourself to different fields will give you the best perspective of the world in the long run, which will help in your game-developing career. 'While young people are still students, I think it is important for them to not just focus on something like programming or just focus on video games. Instead they should do things that you can only do while you are in college. Get out, meet people, and talk to people.'" As a follow-up, N'Gai Croal at Newsweek has up an interview he did with Miyamoto-san entitled the Artist's Way.
That's the trouble with putting value judgements on people's motivations. Whether or not YOU believe the best things in life are free is quite different from suggesting that people that do believe it do so because of sour grapes.

Money is big but certainly not everything. There's lots of value in bettering oneself. It's too bad a prevailing consumerist culture has convinced so many that being wealthy is the only way to live.
Or have I just been watching too much Star Trek lately?

Look, you're writing in English, the name is Miyamoto. This just makes you look like some goofy otaku fanboy.
