Tim Sweeney's engine made Epic and Gears. Cliff is a borderline narcissist. He lambasts people who aren't as rich as him, and blames everyone but himself for his last failed project. Xbox was right to refuse him to come back to Gears.

I pre-ordered my copy, years of reading videogame magazines and this is the first time I get to see a book like this, a full account of what such industry is like. Videogame people rarely get their biographies fully told. Can't wait, really enjoyed the couch cop of Gears of War 1 and 2. Sadly my Xbox 360 red ringed before 3. I am also halfway through Hideo Kojima's the Creative Gene, the other book by a videogame creator, though this more about 4 page reviews of all his creative influences than a full account of his time making videogames (though you get snippets). Very recommended too.

I did end up reading the ones of Nintendo from Satoru Iwata [exPresident Global Nintendo] and the autobiography of Reggie [exPresident Nintendo of America] both overlap and somewhat shred enough in Shigeru Miyamoto. Though halfway Iwata became more of a President and Reggie was more of a marketing person to understand the west. That do said the West vs East is an interesting core. Might jump on one of the ones you are suggesting later on. Would love if there were Keinji Inafune [Megaman, Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Capcom], or Ubisoft mainly due to Michael Ansel [Rayman] or Patrice Desilets [Assassin's Creed]. Or of course the Houser Brothers [Rockstar games Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, Bully, La Noire, etc], I have considered childhood self-righteous villain Jack Thompson but not sure if I could stomach him.

"one of video games most successful designers" lmao The only game he created was a rabbit game in the 90s. Gears was a collaborative effort where Epic gave him the lead. He just told people it had to have chainsaw guns and be manly. The greatest success of Epic Games has always been their engine. Cliff had nothing to do with that.
