What's Missing In Game Writing? (Hint: It's Green)

With films like American History X and Blow to his credit, David McKenna is a big time Hollywood scribe. McKenna, a fan of the Brian DePalma Scarface movie, worked on the game adaptation. What did he think of his experience?

It really is a lot of work, and the pay isn't that great. I think they would have to give me a bit more of an incentive to do another video game project. I know they're on really tight budgets for video games. I think that if they come to the realization that they can hire good writers to create video games, in the long run it will help sell more copies. You get what you pay for, unless writers and actors make sacrifices like we did on this game. But they're not going to be making sacrifices too many times, trust me.

And as we all know, it's easy to make big sacrifices for big paychecks.
