Providing a very frank interview with Rock, Paper, Shotgun EA Mythic's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Creative Director Paul Barnett expresses his feelings about GDC and why he doesn't attend.

I went for it from the other point of view - I’m not going to GDC because it’s combative, it’s a peacock display and it’s full of people who do what I do or want to do what I do or are doing what I do and don’t want me to do it anymore. It’s not open-minded. It’s very narrow-minded. We’re all talking about the same thing. We’ve all sharpened our knives for years at it, so we get into… well, not a fight, but it’s always about the same things. We talk about design, mechanics, philosophy of design. All I was going to hear about was: WoW and the Activision merger.

We read you loud and clear Paul and admire your courage. We also hope the EA management feels the same way!
