Introversion's Mark Morris Drinks Responsibly

Introversion's Mark and Tom

Introversion’s Mark Morris participated in a discussion at GCDC called “Against the Big Boys,” during which he talked about Introversion’s troubled starts (and eventual success), and what publishers can and can’t do for you.

He also revealed how getting drunk can lead to vagrancy and/or distribution deals:

“I was too drunk to get aware of all of it,” Morris admits of that night at the IGF. “I guess I slept on a park bench that night.”

...

In the Q&A that followed, Morris was asked how Introversion landed its deal with Steam, to which he glibly replied, “We got drunk with [Valve COO Scott Lynch]. It was simple as that.”

I guess the “first of the children” have to be 21 or older. Zing!

(Thanks to Alec for the news!)
