Will Wright: Games are not stories

There was this guy, and he walked into a room, and he saw a person sitting on the other side of the room, absorbed in this device. And he was so fixated on this device that he didn't even notice this fellow walking into the room – he could tell, it was like he wasn't even there, and he'd displaced himself to another time and place.

And it creeped him out, he thought this guy was possessed by the devil.

What this was, it was the sixteenth century, and it was the first time he'd seen somebody reading a book.
