Shipping talks, bullshit walks. I've worked on a ton of MMOs and other online games. Mostly helping games startups these days. Also, corgis. Specifically, one large, lazy one in particular.

You have to know which game they're playing and how you're going to fulfill a critical need that isn't being met, and effectively steal them by being just that compelling or unique, at the time you're conceiving of your game. Not in testing. Not at launch. (3/4)
