I started in QA, which was quality assurance testing at the time. My friend who was at EA at the time warned me not to tell them that I liked The Sims, but of course I was like, 'But I love the Sims.' I put it on my little list of games that I play.
The Sims continues to iterate and evolve itself. We've always been the place you go to play with life, to experiment, to be part of this big and awesome community.
