I love video games. I had a Sega Genesis and a Nintendo 64 growing up, and I've had every 'NBA Live' that has ever come out.
I'm geeky about video games. I don't stay inside a lot and just play them 24/7, but if I had the chance, I probably would.
Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through.
The Twitch community loves watching video games, chatting, and broadcasting. The average viewer watches over an hour and a half of video each day. Over two-thirds of our logged-in users chat each day.
I'm not a huge movie buff and I don't watch that much television, but I've spent most of my life playing video games of one kind or another.
One thing that we have found over the years is that video games themselves are a thing that have a tendency to be difficult for them to break out of a particular segment, or a particular group, or a particular group of people with particular interests.
You look at the violence that is there in entertainment, in video games, and don't just go say, 'We're going to do an assault weapons ban, and that's going to solve the problem,' because it is not going to get to the root of the problem.
I don't think there's room in video games for people to bring an ego. It's very frustrating for any actor to have someone who's a celebrity take over your place. Like the 'Uncharted' film, they're trying to find someone to play Nathan Drake. And it's like, why do they not think of us? We do this.
