my track record, I don’t know if I’m the one to be offering advice there. Whenever
something unusual comes
out likeThe Sims,Iliketo
think that all of a sudden
people say, “Hey, that was
really off-the-wall, and it
sold great!” Maybe that
might help to green-light
some other off-the-wall
projects at other compa-
nies that were having
problems getting approv-
ed. But I think realistically
they’re more likely to say,
“Oh, we want a game just
likeThe Sims.” Unfortu-
nately, that’s probably the
lesson they’re going to
carry from it.
