Interesting to think about the different paths people see for games. I find that I still think of games like novels and movies - discrete pieces of art to be experienced and consumed. Temporary things. Some folk skew heavily toward ideas of scale - "lifestyle" games and creative platforms for amateurs.

I'm far more excited by the idea of making the best damn text editor you've ever seen than I am the idea of "revolutionizing" the way you write novels.

I generally find that the limiting factor in games is the quality of the tools, not necessarily the features they provide. Tools should melt into the background of the creative process.

Every time you think about a tool is a failure of that tool.
