Oddworld creator would work with Iwata “in a second”, positive Nintendo will still be around in 100 years

During an investor’s briefing Q&A several weeks ago, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made a few remarks stating that he wouldn’t lay off staff simply to improve the company’s financial situation. Instead, Iwata is interested in making great games. This is something that has resonated well with Lorne Lanning, creator of Oddworld.
Lanning, speaking with GamesBeat in a new interview, spoke highly of Iwata as a whole. He went as far as to say that he’d “work with him in a second.” And Nintendo overall? Lanning thinks that they’ll still be here in 100 years.
Lanning said:

News has come out today that French mass-media-multicorporation Vivendi is planning on selling the majority of its stock in game publisher Activision-Blizzard, a move that would break the company from the shackles of shareholder interests and return it to being a publicly traded and by-and-large independent company.
What does this mean for their games? Not much. Business should operate as usual over at the publisher, and CEO Bobby Kotick will remain in position after purchasing the shares from Vivendi for a hefty $2.34 billion in cash.

Suda51 talks games relating to culture and art, says he feels a ‘duty’ to create games that ‘push the status quo’

“Therefore, I feel at Grasshopper one of our obligations– our duties– to the video game world is to create revolutionary titles that really push the status quo.”
– Game designer Suda51
One of the few folk truly approaching game design from an artistic standpoint, Suda certainly lives up to what he says with every game he’s made that I’ve played. I’m not sure we need every single developer to go down the road he’s on, but I do agree that more people should approach game design in fundamentally the same way.
