Maybe he watched Micah play or somewhere online but would have been good if Colin asked more questions about the past games that he may or may not have played or watched play. Felt the questioning was a little placeholder. Not bad but actually a very by the numbers interview. Also no mention of the workplace incident?

This is not an Xbox. This is Patrick.

Thank you for the great interview! I enjoy hearing a creator’s viewpoints on multiple topics. I really appreciate how Thomas sticks to his principles.

Great conversation. Countless wise arguments, BUT one thing that needs correction is the topic of "gamers don't care about graphics because look at how Roblox is doing" - they don't care because those games there are (mostly) free. The narrative changes once you ask for money, and how much money. Also, the comparison to Roblox or Fortnite is not the correct perspective, as those games are more a cultural, social entities, than JUST video games.
