“The common denominator, I would guess, is passion. Everyone says, ‘Well, why aren’t games better—why aren’t there more really good games?’ And I think that the answer is that what this industry doesn’t do, amazingly, is play the games it makes. We create a game, we ask the teams to work all the hours God sends, and we don’t give them time to
play the game. That’s really what makes the difference—sitting down and playing for hours and hours and hours.”
— Peter Molyneux
