Game Legends Speak: Cliff Bleszinski & John Romero Reflect on Games, Violence, and Memoirs

Description

In this special re-release, two of gaming’s most influential figures — John Romero (DOOM, Quake) and Cliff Bleszinski (Gears of War, Unreal) — join me to talk about their memoirs, the creative highs and lows of shaping iconic franchises, and the cultural debates that have followed them for decades.


We dig into questions of legacy, the future of interactive storytelling, and yes — the long-running discussion around whether video games cause violence. It’s a candid, thoughtful conversation with two designers who helped define what video games could be.


If you love game history, behind-the-scenes stories, or just hearing legends reflect on their craft, this one’s for you.
