Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"I'm doing this because I love doing it" with Jeremy Fielding
Q: Do you think that's an unusual attitude for a company to have in the video games industry?
In games especially, yeah. It's more common in general in Sweden, but in the game industry, there's still a culture of overwork due to passion.
"I'm doing this because I love doing it" with Jeremy Fielding
Q: So, where do you go to learn how to do it better? Where did you go when you first got the job? How did you learn how to do this job properly?
I think that interest in psychology and how communities form is part of why I learned to be good at what I do. It's not just about theory; it's about understanding communication.
