“Making a game is like constructing a building during an earthquake or trying to run a train as someone else is laying down track as you go...”
Jason Schreier, Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Zerocalcare
“Capito? I videogiochi sono come il sogno americano. Lavora duro e avrai la tua villetta col barbecue. Non ci sono porte chiuse a priori. Per questo si mischiano con l'adolescenza.”
Zerocalcare, La profezia dell'armadillo
