1. You've watched the game industry truly evolve over the last 26 years. What excites you as a developer today?

The same things that excited me about being a developer in the early 1980s - I love to design and code games. I come to work every day and look forward to being at my keyboard writing code and iterating on whatever game we're working on at the time. It is pretty thrilling to see how many people are playing and enjoying games today. Our industry continues to come up with new ways for people to play games – new platforms, game ideas etc. that keep things exciting and interesting...and growing. I hope to be making games forever – it's the greatest job in the world.

3. Why turn your back on the largest installed base on the console landscape today, and not release the "game you always wanted to make" on the Wii? Or are you planning to release the Wii version of Civ Revolution later after all?

We're still in the process of making decisions on that and will keep you posted. We certainly think the Wii is a fantastic system and have no intentions of turning our backs on it!
