We don't pay a whole lot of attention to the Internet until people have played the game - then we pay a lot of attention to whether people liked it.

I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
