I'm late to the party.... I tend to stay away from this site for the last few years because I kept seeing things I wanted to add to my collection, and then spending so much of my time here. These days, my RL takes up all of my time, more specifically, my post-layoff job, laugh
I was fortunate enough to have an amazing GF that surprised me with the book, and even was in time to make Ken's offer of a signed bookplate by him and Roberta. She made a gift of the book, the bookplate, the pix she sent Ken for proof of purchase, and their email correspondence.... quite an amazing gift, imo
The book itself was a very easy read, and gave a lot of insight into Ken's approach to running a business, as well as his time during the sale of the company. There were several anecdotes that were likely not well-known before he stated them in his book - the potential Sierra purchase of iD Software, with corroborating messages from John Romero, was a particular surprise. I mean, could you image the shape of gaming, console and computer, if this had taken place?! What a "what if....!!!"
I would've liked to have seen more personal anecdotes and stories from the heyday.... some admissions and specifics in ways that they could've improved their games at the time (and didn't), and things he would change with a little hind-sight, specifically in regards to game design (as in, critically, Roberta didn't evolve her game design very much over the years, though her designs did get more grandiose and her storytelling arguably better). Of course with Roberta being his wife, and his admitted hands-off approach to allowing his designers be the stars, there would naturally be a blind spot to her shortcomings.
All in all, quite the enjoyable read, and honestly, a page-turner.
