David Cage - Good stories aren't written by 50 people, industry needs auteurs, needs to mature past hardcore

“If this industry wants to mature and evolve then we need to talk about emotions and work on stories that appeal to all people, not just hardcore gamers between the ages of 15 and 17. We have a much wider market out there just waiting to interact if we can go to them with the right ideas. I know no good stories written by 50 people. A story is something emotional; something personal that you want to share and it is strongly linked to your own life and experiences. We need auteurs and the biggest problem in this industry is that we don’t trust them – we trust programmers instead. Auteurs are scary because they come back with ideas, but that is exactly what this industry should be about.” - David Cage

One day Mr. Cage sounds like a pompous ass, and the next he’s saying things that make a ton of sense. Why must you make it so hard for me to like you, David!?
