My involvement was critical, but only indirectly so. I was the one who decided if a game got made, who would make it, how much money would be spent on developing the game, and how much would be spent to promote the game. Based on my understanding of Hollywood, this is not inconsistent with what a producer on a film might do.

Headaches dealing with people, are for me, probably a bigger reason why I never want to work again, than because I am enjoying retirement.

The Executive Producer title didn't really mean anything. I forget if it was me, or someone else, who made it up. At some point, I think we stopped using it, because it was annoying to the teams, who were the ones doing all the real work on the games. It was never a really big issue, but I could tell that they didn't like seeing someones name on the project who didn't really work as part of the team.

It is a huge disappointment for me that Sierra died. Actually, Sierra didn't die, it was murdered.

I am anti-censorship, but I have very different feelings about what is appropriate for a mature adult, and what is appropriate for a 10, or 13, year old child.
