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 - Im not going to GDC because its combative, its a peacock display and its full of people who do what I do or want to do what I do or are doing what I do and dont want me to do it anymore. Its not open-minded. Its very narrow-minded. Were all talking about the same thing. Weve all sharpened our knives for years at it, so we get into well, not a fight, but its 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!
