I think, like most gamers, I talk a good game.
Aisha Tyler
The more people who come forward and talk about how much they love gaming, how much they talk about individuality and diversity, the more gamers of color that come out and gay gamers that come out and everybody talking about what they love - that's what the community has in common: a love of gaming.
We are witnessing a very slow and painful cultural shift. Some male gamers with a deep sense of entitlement are terrified of change. They believe games should continue to cater exclusively to young heterosexual men with ever more extreme virtual power fantasies.
Anita Sarkeesian
I think a lot of the time we end up taking people who - and this is sort of a big cultural advantage at Activision - we find people who are, have a graduate degree of some kind - mainly it's in the sciences - and they are in jobs that would never suggest that they were working for anything game related but that they're passionate gamers.
Bobby Kotick
To allow our audiences to watch more professionally produced video content, we acquired Major League Gaming - MLG - and we expect MLG to become the 'ESPN of Videogames' with a focus on the celebration of gamers, both amateur and professionals.
There are millions of sci-fi enthusiasts in the world, not just gamers.
Brendan Iribe
The video game industry traditionally has been a very male-dominated field. You know, with the advent of the iPhone, the number of women gamers exploded.
Brianna Wu
It's see no evil, hear no evil with toxic male gamers - whose every whim and adolescent fantasy has been catered to for decades.
Gamergate is ostensibly about journalistic ethics. Supporters say they want to address conflicts of interest between the people that make games and the people that support them. In reality, Gamergate is a group of gamers that are willing to destroy the women who have invaded their clubhouse.
The earliest adopters at scale of crypto were gamers.
Brock Pierce
Rooster Teeth has always had a big following in the gamer community, and we are lifelong gamers ourselves.
Burnie Burns
The humanitarian developers behind World of Warcraft have also discovered a way to bribe gamers into turning off their computers and going outside. If you log off for a few days, your character will be more 'rested' when you resume playing, a mode that temporarily speeds up your leveling.
Clive Thompson
Accessibility is key. MMOs are great for traditional gamers who have a lot of time to become immersed in a world, but the mass market wants things bite-sized.
Craig Sherman
For me, personally, I think the serious gamers - the guys who know the levels - play Xbox, and people who are just good at the game play PS3. I play PS3 because I'm not a serious, serious gamer like that. But when I play the Xbox, the standard is so much higher.
Daniel Sturridge
People trying new ideas are a blessing for gamers and in the industry in general.
David Cage
A goal of Twitch is to be wherever gamers are, whether it's on laptops and handheld devices or integrated into gaming consoles and software.
Emmett Shear
I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique 'Metal Gear Solid' experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on 'Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes' for Nintendo GameCube.
Hideo Kojima
I don't worry about great visuals that they showed that weren't actually running on real hardware. It doesn't matter. Gamers don't make their purchase decisions based on movies that were shown in May for products that come out in March.
J Allard
Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it's always worth trying, and trying now. Gamers don't sit around.
Jane McGonigal
If you make it a game, gamers will play it no matter what your motivation is in making it.
There are people who are very dismissive of games and gamers.
When parents or gamers ask me, 'What's the best game to play?' I say that playing face-to-face is more beneficial than playing online.
Game designers are obsessed with emotion. How do we create the emotions that we want gamers to feel, and how can we really make it this intense, emotional experience?
Surveys of thousands of gamers have shown that they're more likely to play real music if they play a music videogame. So it's an interesting relationship where the games aren't replacing something we do in real life, they're serving as a springboard to a goal we might have in real life, like learning to play an instrument.
When gamers look at games not as overall experiences but as chimeric potpourris of sight and sound, we take too mechanical a perspective and ignore what really makes them special.
Gamers have this tendency to turn games into mathematical equations, breaking them into lists of components like 'presentation' and 'mechanics' and judging each one on its own merits.
Our vision is for games to offer a wide variety of different experiences and attract all kinds of gamers and nongamers.
Each game we make, we like to introduce an emotion that is rarely experienced by gamers in the console game industry.
One of the things I'm excited about is the observation that gamers are creators and creators are gamers too. We used to think of creators as workstation customers and think of gamers as consumers.
It turns out that a lot of gamers love design, love to create in digital.
Gaming notebooks aren't that abundant. Not that many gamers are able to play on notebooks.
Our core market has been historically gamers and digital content creators such as car designers and movie makers.
I'd even say possibly I'm one of the best gamers in the NBA. I play everything. I play every single type of genre game.
Maybe there are people who are gamers who haven't seen movies I have made, or the movies I have made have made no impression on them at all.
I started making music that I loved and was passionate and excited about, but it was really cool when I started touring to realize it's an extremely diverse group of people who come out. In the front row, I'll have everyone from a little girl in a frilly tutu, to rockers and gamers and older couples. I love it that it's just everybody.
Gamers are some of the toughest people to please. They have extreme requirements. They want everything.
Gamers love technology, and they have high expectations.
We're absolutely passionate about making sure gamers have the latest and greatest drivers.
AMD loves gamers.
Great graphics requires more than just high-performance hardware. Gamers know software is just as important.
The trade-off between speed and image quality is a key constraint of first-person action games, and the job of developing a workable engine involves constantly optimizing both elements. Gamers dream of the day they'll be able to haul their arsenals through three-dimensional environments of photographic clarity, playing 'Myst' with a meat ax.
I don't just write a script, and then someone takes it away and builds a game. I am continually getting input in order to create a big suspension field to hold the gameplay together so that the gamers aren't doing arbitrary tasks, so that they are doing things that seem meaningful.
'Smash Bros.' features a slew of modes as well, but we didn't create them all under the idea that we want gamers to try every single one of them. I think it's just fine if gamers enjoy the aspects of the game they like. It's kind of a buffet-style approach.
We created BlizzCon as a celebration of our global community, but not everyone can travel to the show, so the virtual ticket gives us a great way to bring BlizzCon to gamers around the world.
I don't play with female gamers.
I revel in my anonymity. But when I'm at a specific event and gamers are there, they'll recognise me.
Perhaps 'Borderlands' can be a lesson for all of us - that when making a videogame, we should not be afraid to identify gamers as the audience.
The one point gamers all hate is the point where they have to put the controller down.
Nintendo is about innovation and bringing new and unique game play to the consumer - both the core gamer as well as new gamers.
The appeal of Wii to nongamers has taken away some of the seasonality of sales we've come to expect in the past.
