I think the more realistic you try to make the graphics and the experience, the more you limit yourself to a single vision.

I definitely think 'Minecraft' is a freak thing. There's no way you could replicate it intentionally.

Turns out, what I love doing is making games. Not hyping games or trying to sell a lot of copies. I just want to experiment and develop and think and tinker and tweak.

'Minecraft' is to a large degree about having unique experiences that nobody else has had. The levels are randomly generated, and you can build anything you want to build yourself.

I'm worried about the future of computer operating systems, as they all seem to be sliding towards a more controlled experience, taking away much of what makes PC games so much fun.

I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn't become the end-all be-all.
