“Multiplayer games are the ultimate happiness engine – everyone in the games industry – all of us are already in the happiness business, as the rest of the interactive community starts to catch on to create happiness, more and more of us will be in the business of producing happiness engines.” – Jane McGonigal, 2008 SXSW Keynote
“Great design is not reductionist,” (Mau) says. “A lot of current design seems to be about just getting everything down to a clean, perfect experience — which, at its worst, is stale, cold, and lifeless. I think good design should be complex and rich and even messy, like life. When you think about it, design is a philosophical statement. It’s a way for you to say to the world ‘This is who I am. This is what’s important in my life, what I value, what I believe.’” – Glimmer, Pg 248, 249
