One of the veterans in the gaming industry doesn’t think that he wants to make AAA games anymore.

The gentleman, who’s working on System Shock 3 and has been responsible for the creation of System Shock, Deus Ex, and Thief: The Dark Project, told IGN the following: „I kinda don’t care about the future of AAA gaming. I think the costs are so high; the teams are so big, the risks are so great that we see an awful lot of same old, same old with prettier pictures. That’s a little reductionist, I know, but I don’t see a lot that interests me in the AAA space.

I spend most of my time in GDC and E3 looking at independent things. I think you see immense creativity on the indie side, and in that sense, things are way better than they used to be. There didn’t use to be an indie scene, and now there are so many ways to make a game, there are so many ways to reach an audience with that game, that anybody can make the game of their dreams. I got the opportunity to make Deus Ex, which was my dream game, but that’s because I was the luckiest guy on the planet.”

He’s somewhat aggressive about the subject, but we have heard the first half of his comments elsewhere, to be fair…
