Why I Make Games

Electronic Arts

 Learn about the exact moment different creative leaders at EA decided they wanted to make games for a living.

Game makers share their stories of doing what they love

Why I Make Games:

First and foremost, videogames have always been a huge part of my life. When I started playing on the Atari 2600 at my neighbor’s house in the 80’s I never imagined a career in games. 

What Started Your Interest in Making Games?

After playing games through and beyond college (especially Madden in college dorm) I started to think about how these games were made. I’m a creative person at heart. I make music and edit videos in my spare time. Video games are a natural extension of my creative ambitions.
