quote [ “It turns out that hackers are assholes,” Barth says. “We interviewed a bunch and mostly they stole credit cards and figured out ways of ripping off phone companies to get free phone calls. And that was it, apparently. Sometimes they’d try to get each other arrested for fun. We didn’t really want to make a game about that.” ]
Good interview on the ever-alluring Zachlike games, referenced on RockPaperShotgun's very own Cyber Monday.

Totally! The fear of this eating several hours of my precious freetime stopped me from pursuing this further.
It's from the same profilic guy who started textfiles.com, did a documentary on BBSes and got involved in digitizing terabytes for archive.org, giving interesting talks and doing stuff like rescueing basements full of tech manuals. Has worked himself up a bit though, I guess, recovering from health problems now. But Jason Scott should probably get a post of his own. |
