Came across this interview this afternoon and was surprised that this is the guy who first proposed Star Wars: Battlefront, so I guess he deserves credit for why we're all here today:

The person who first pitched it and became the lead designer on it. Now just imagine if that guy hadn't changed his career path to the game industry. Just picture it.

Instead of SWBF we would have Star Wars: The Clone Wars II... Wait that doesn't sound too bad actually. But still no SWBF so I don't think it would quite make up for it.

And I think he is why we have so many Scandinavian sounding AI names too  ;)
