There was a very very brief window of time when this was the most popular and talked about game in the world



the ds had a bit of a rocky start like the 3ds and this was the big savior, and was the reason the wii early on was focused on 'casuals' and made bazillions of dollars

I don’t know if D3 or Spore was a bigger letdown to me. I think I idolized Will Wright more than Jay Wilson at the time and D3 is less cynical...

the game had rampant hacking because of the wiis extreme limitations for online, and for the sequel (yes there was a sequel) they said "oh, that wont happen, we learned how to do basic security this time" and it also had rampant hacking and died immediately

an online game on a system where hacking is easier than patching is asking for a lot

when star wars force unleashed was getting hyped up they had all these insane tech demos to show off Euphoria and Digital Molecular Matter engines working in tandem, with stormtroopers being thrown into wood and hanging onto pieces that would break off dynamically and poo poo

of course the underpowered PS3 and 360 couldn't handle half of this stuff so in the full game it ended up being a very slightly fancier havok physics with some really great euphoria animations for troopers getting knocked around and stuff, but none of it affected gameplay. also the game was 5 hours long and just okay lmao

also this happened

adventure games were super important in the last 80s/early 90s and he was in the middle of that

the williams arent held up because they became/were shithead business people and people dont look fondly back on the sierra games, ron gilbert kinda fell out of the limelight, while schafer reveled in it

hell, a lot of major american pc developers kinda just got torn up and spit out by the industry in the late 90s onward, and publishers started avoiding allowing 'rock star' devs to even exist

schafer positioned himself to be a weird iconic bridge between major old games modern indie games, when indie games were growing

Fun fact 100 years ago when we used to post on YCS my username was something stupid as gently caress like Laser Beam or whatever and then Frags changed my name in one of those wacky mega threads to "American McGee's 3some" and then I got banned or something and couldn't unban my account cause the username was too long so they had to shorten it to American McGay.

I still don't know who this man is.
