quarantine 'em

It's fascinating to me the number of people who suggest in Deus Ex there should have been an option to leave UNATCO. There was! At first...

The design documents for Deus Ex have ridiculous scope. The game would have been three times as large. Why shoot lower, I guess

Wait, did I say leave UNATCO? I meant side with UNATCO. But either way: plenty of people think both options should have been on the table

But at that point you're building two games in parallel. It's hard writing, and there are only so many hours in the day

In general it's interesting to me when the consumers of a creative work notice issues which the creators were also aware of

I can't speak about every creator but whenever I read a review of something I wrote, there's rarely anything in there I didn't already know

That includes the negative parts. Nothing of mine has been shipped "perfect" in my eyes, and I expect this is true of nearly everybody
