Hi Jordan!

Let me start by saying I am a game developer and a huge fan of Prince of Persia. One of my most prized possessions is a complete in box copy of it for the Super Nintendo, the first words i learned to write besides my own name were PRINCE MEGAHIT (at age 3!), and one of the things that got me into trying to get into game development were the videos of your brother jumping and running that are all around the internet. Of course you know your work has touched the life of millions, but I'm not sure you know how far away (I was born, raised and first played PoP in Catamarca, Argentina!).

My questions are:

1- How did it occur to you to film actual people to make games instead of drawing like everyone else? What was the thought process behind it?

2- I'm sure you've had lots of business meetings since 1985. Do you have any advise on approaching that for people who are not so experienced?

Also, a friend of mine (also a developer) hosts a business and industry related video interview show (through video call) for an important latin-american gaming and game industry news site. I'm sure you are a very busy person and i will totally understand if you can't, but if it's possible to get a half hour of your time, would you be willing to do a skype interview? It would mean so much to me if you did.

Thanks a lot for both doing this AMA and for your awesome work on this medium!

EDIT: First question was incomplete
