Klei on Portals

Jamie Cheng (of Eets fame) finally started updating his blog again, and his latest article offers up 3 reasons why his company won’t be using portals any time soon.
“Last week I argued vehemently that fewer people can acheive better results than a huge group of people. I could write an entire article just on this (people have written books on it), but the most important ingredient in all of this is passion. The fact is, Klei is not staffed with people who are passionate about building games for this target market — that is, players who buy games off of Yahoo!, MSN, and Big Fish Games.”
In an earlier post:
“…several [of our] key staff are also weird people who have no preconceptions of what the ‘right way’ to develop a game is. This can bring some amazing results when mixed with people from the industry who are fed up with the ‘right way’ to spend millions of dollars to create a game you’re not sure people will enjoy.”
Inspiring words to some, perhaps.
