“'Fallout 76' is a very different 'Fallout' game. We're very aware of that. We think a lot of people will like it, because we like it.

“You never know how your work is going to be received, and to have it be not just received by the people who wanted it or knew about it or our traditional fan base, which is pretty big, but also having it spill over to everybody who plays games,”

“'Minecraft' is like that, where you might say to one of your friends who doesn't play games, 'Hey, just sit down and try this with me.' There are other games you might put in front of somebody and say, 'I know you don't traditionally play games, but you've got to check this out'.”

“What's funny is that by the time everyone plays the game - you know, we finish it, and then it takes a long time to make copies and ship it and get on the shelves - we probably haven't worked on it for a month, two months.

So, we've already taken our break, and then we're on to the next thing.”

“Great games are played, not made.”
