ianlivingstone

“No, no. Games have been my life. I turned a hobby into an industry – I love what we’ve created. I love the people in the industry. And I want to see it grow forever. So you’re never too young to start and you’re never too old to stop – and I’m never going to stop, because if I stop being a champion of the industry, I wouldn’t want to be playing the games. I really enjoy what I do and I will continue to fight for the cause.” – Eidos life president Ian Livingstone to Beefjack when asked if he would ever retire.
