I make M-rated games for adults, you know, with guys wearing sunglasses at night and trench coats. – Warren Spector
I want my little corner of the world where I get to make games where you’re not trying to win or lose; you’re not trying to get a higher score – you are having unbelievable amounts of fun as you learn about yourself and the world. That’s what games can do! – Warren Spector
Oswald is an interesting character. Disney lost the rights to him in 1928 to Universal, who was distributing the cartoons and basically handed him over to Walter Lantz. – Warren Spector
I gotta do what I think is right, and if enough people like it, I’m a winner. And if they don’t, I’ll open a bookstore. – Warren Spector
The reason our games generate so much revenue is because we’re stupid enough to charge $60 for a box or $50 for a download or something. You need used games because most people can’t afford those prices. – Warren Spector

I’ve made plenty of violent games in my life. I play violent games. They don’t affect people in the way that a lot of people think they do. They just don’t. It’s demonstrably true that they don’t, and anybody who thinks they do is just not thinking. – Warren Spector
People perceive games as being for kids, and I think that perception is going to change. Time is going to take care of that. I mean, we’ve already won. Games have won; it’s inevitable. – Warren Spector
$200, 300 million games, I’m a little scared about that; there aren’t a lot of companies that have the resources or the courage to spend that much. – Warren Spector
For most developers, that kind of situation – a player figuring out how to do something that the designer didn’t intend – to most developers, that’s a bug. For me, that’s a celebration. – Warren Spector
I don’t even make multiplayer games much, so dealing with multiple characters is something new for me – or, rather, something I’ve had to recall from my days as a roleplaying adventure designer where the party was everything! – Warren Spector
My greatest joy is seeing parents and kids playing Disney ‘Epic Mickey’ together, handing the controllers back and forth, helping each other out. – Warren Spector
The reality, for me at least, is that the finest recreation of a paper game, played on computer, pales in comparison with the actual, face-to-face experience. – Warren Spector
