  One of the few game developers trying to write for the medium of gaming instead of trying to write a book/movie and slap it into a game. One of the few who eschews the three-act arc so prevalent in plays and films.

  He really understands that as a different medium you should play to the mediums strengths and how the medium functions for storytelling to synthesize meaning between gameplay and story. Writing for games shouldn’t be like writing for books or films because while analogous they are nowhere near the same kind of mediums.

  The medium is the message.

  Yoko Taro (and other creatives) shouldn’t need to rely on the grace of billionaires in order to perform their craft.

    They don’t.

    I’m just saying that it would be 100% better than all the shit the billionaires are doing.
