When you’re faced with it, when the rubber hits the road and you have to defend your family… I’ve had conversations with other game developers which are like ‘if a guy came into your house, and he had a gun, and you were standing in the kitchen would you pick up a knife and try and defend your family?’ And they said ‘no, I’d try to talk to him first.’ [Laughs in disbelief.] So someone’s coming into your house and threatening to kill your family, and you’re going to try to talk to him. For me, as soon as you stick your foot across my windowsill I just feel like that’s it. You’ve violated the contract, right. I’m not sticking my foot across your windowsill.
Let me tell you a story about the last time I invaded another man's castle. I was living in a shitty building for poor people since it was all I could afford on my welfare. I'd just spent Friday night trying to ignore the loud music and drunken ranting coming from the apartment next door, because I've spent my whole life in what a guy like Jason Rohrer would describe as "unsafe situations" and it's made me a pretty fucking tolerant neighbour. Then, around two AM Saturday morning, I heard the one sound you can't ignore: a woman screaming for help. So, without thinking about it, I stormed out into the hall and started pounding on my neighbour's door. When he eventually cracked it to see who was there, I stepped inside and told him I wanted to see the woman who belonged to that voice right now. According to Jason Rohrer, that old bastard would've been well within his rights to do to me exactly what he'd been doing to her, or worse - far worse. (And maybe he even could've, if he'd had a weapon at hand, since even I'm not stupid enough to barge into another man's castle carrying anything more dangerous than a cell phone.) I realize I overstepped my bounds that time, but I'd do it again in an instant. Because the same thing went down at the other end of my hall, and by the time the cops that guy's neighbours called showed up, all they could do was load her into an ambulance and him into a squad car. My story had a happier ending: I guess I must've scared the shit out of the guy, because as long as he lived there (not much longer), I never once heard him raise his voice again. |
