It's hard to decide where to post this, since people ask this question in just about every forum here. So, if you see someone poking around for this topic, redirect them here or to this link, I guess. The Education of a Game Designer by Chris Crawford. You should all know who he is, and you've probably read this or at least some of his various papers. Anyway, enjoy. I hope this message is received by those who need to hear it.

Thanks, I haven't read this from Chris Crawford before. Do you know when it was written, I couldn't find that information on the page or in the source.

Sounds pretty reasonable.

The document is dated November 23rd, 2003. At least, that's when it was uploaded to his server or last modified.

It also mentions the "The Matrix" movie but I don't see Crawford's byline anywhere. Who is Chris Crawford? Don't confuse him with Chris Taylor.
