No is for wimps. No is for pussies. No is to live small and embittered, cherishing the opportunities you missed because they might have sent the wrong message.

I really want brands to be disarming, to be more normal. To live up to the human aspirations that are part of their heritage. To integrate with us and be as dumb and smart and socially responsible and friendly as you or me. I figure that things will work out better if all the people in this industry feel like it’s not only OK to be human about it, but it’s actually the goal.

It’s exciting to the game designers, they find it liberating from the standpoint that they can now really see what gamers are doing. In the old days they’d work many man months on a game, ship it, and not be able to tell what’s happening in the game, except anecdotally. Now they can actually see the telemetry data; they can say, “okay, 50% finished the game, 35% played 10% of the game …” they find it liberating – they can go live with less and learn what gamers like, then build accordingly.

Love is what brands need more of. Love is what drives collaborations. Like any loving relationship it’s a question of trust. In a world where there is a lack of trust between consumers and brands, collaborations build a feeling of trust.
