GFW: So you were lucky, you didn't have to become a lawyer. Because we recently talked to Warren Spector and Ken Levine, both of whom are "stars" in our world, who complained that it wasn't until recently that their parents considered them successful. Because gaming to them wasn't a real job -- it was something dumb that they were indulging in. "When are you gonna get a real job?" So you never really got that from your parents?
GFW：那么说你很走运，不用去当律师。因为最近我们采访了Warren Spector（离子风暴创办人之一兼首席设计师）和Ken Levine（著名电影人），在我们这一行里他们可以说都是重量级的人物。他们俩抱怨说，直到现在他们的父母才认可了他们在事业上的成就。因为在老一辈看来，游戏不是个正经行当---他们沉湎其中，沉默寡言。“你什么时候才去找个正经工作？”那么你父母从未对你这样说过吗？
SD: Nope, it's always been good. Before Blizzard I worked at the Orange Mall movie theater for like five years, so doing artwork was at least a step up. "Well, he likes to draw, and he's got a drawing job -- cool, he's moving up!" Of course, I did miss those free movies.[laughs]
SD：没，一切都很好。在进入暴雪前，我在Orange Mall电影院干了大约5年，所以干美工至少可以说是一个进步。“好吧，他喜欢画画，然后他谋得了一个画画的差事---真酷，他往前跨了一大步！”当然了，我还是很怀念看免费电影的日子(笑)。
1UP: So were you a gamer at the time that you started?
1UP：那么你初进暴雪的时候，你是个游戏迷吗？
SD: Yeah, Super Nintendo and Sega. I was never a real PC gamer until WarCraft came out. I didn't even have a computer at home until the late 1990s. Just because I was always a console guy. But now I find myself more [of a PC gamer]. I finally just got an Xbox. Because I have to catch up, everyone's telling me about these cool games, I need to start seeing what we can be doing as well, artistically.
SD：没错，超任和世嘉。在魔兽争霸出来前我一直都不算是真正的电脑游戏迷。直到九十年代后期，我才在自己家里有了电脑。因为我一直是个电视游戏支持者。但现在我觉得自己更多的是个电脑游戏迷。我最后买了台XBOX。因为我得赶上潮流，每个人都在和我谈论这些很酷的游戏，我需要知道在美工上，我们如何才能也做得这么棒。
1UP: It's kind of amazing that Blizzard has really held on to the PC-only thing.
1UP：有一点很令人吃惊，暴雪始终只在单一的PC平台上进行开发。
SD: It's always been a stable platform, you know? You upgrade, but you don't necessarily have to buy a whole new machine where everything that you had before no longer works, like buying a new console.
SD：这个平台很稳定，你明白？你进行机器升级，但没必像买一部家用游戏机那样要因为配件全报废而买一部全新的机器。
GFW: It just seems that with everybody else migrating to the consoles, it would be so obvious and easy for you guys too, and yet it hasn't happened. And it also hasn't affected you, really.
GFW：其他许多公司都转向了家用游戏机平台，你们可能也觉察到了，实际上这样做对你们来说很简单。但你们没这么干，也没有受太大的影响。
SD: Not really. When we started, though, we were making console games. Our games in our first three or four years were all console games. They were never super-huge smash hits, but there are still people that say, "Man, I love Rock 'n' Roll Racing, that thing was great!" It was fun making them; it's very nice to have one system where you know its requirements and you know what you can do, you know what you can push. You don't have to worry about this huge spectrum of requirements. "Some people are going to be playing on the HamsterTron 2000, OK, we might have to make them turn off the specular mapping for that one." It had things that were really cool about it, but I dunno. It's nice to have PC and Mac -- everybody has one of those in their house. Not everybody has an Xbox or PlayStation.
SD：实际上影响并不大。尽管最初我们是制作电视游戏的。最初的三或四年了我们的产品都是电视游戏。它们都没有造成很大的影响，但还是有人会说：“嘿，伙计，我喜欢《摇滚赛车》，它棒极了！”制作这些游戏很有意思。能够制作一个自己知道其要求，清楚自己能做什么，能在其中加入些什么的游戏，是件不错的事情。你不需要去担心繁杂的要求。“有些人可能会在HamsterTron 2000（意思不详---译者注）上玩，好吧，我们可能不得不为了自己的东西让他们关掉这个不错的制图工具”（引号里的这一句可能出入很大，望高手指点改正---译者注）它的确有些很酷的东西，但我不这么看。有台PC机或是苹果机是很棒的事---每个人都在他们的家里有一台。但不是每个人都有XBOX或者PS。
