George Broussard, the designer behind 3D Realms and Duke Nukem, has decided to take on all questions at formspring.me. Now anyone can ask him a question and hope that he answers it on the site. He’s already spoken his thoughts on a few of these, such as:
- his preference for the Xbox 360 (but admits that he also likes the PS3)
- that he doesn’t mind used games sales, but hates the way that Gamestop does it
- that he doesn’t think that games are art. At least, not yet.
- loves the Atari 2600
So take advantage of it quick! Now if only other developers were to do the same thing…
