Crawford is kind of a kook. He's less visionary than he thinks but more visionary than the industry gives him any credit for.

Also he only did one thing in the last decade that got bowled over by an abandonware html editor that did the exact same thing but less terrible. Still, he's been saying the important things… Read more

Games aren't movies though. The best games only use a few verbs, but they aren't about what you do, they are about how you do it and what you are thinking about while you do it. A great example is Smash Bros Melee. In that game, like many fighting games, your verbs are restricted to jump, punch, kick, and some special… Read more
