That's really cool, nice work getting the interview done.
One thing that really stood out to me was your question about free/open-source software, and what Chris said about back then this wasn't really a thing.
It really made me think and ultimately gave me a much stronger appreciation for the countless hours that people have put into making the free/opensource material in the first place. I've got to admit that until this hit me (right now) I definitely took a lot of things for granted
Don't get me wrong, I'd always credit whoever needs credit for any open/free software or assets that I use, but I just never really thought 'damn there was a time when this was not as easily accessible as now.
There's very few games released today that could've been done without open source effort. Even things like Braid that have their own engines made would still have utilised so much open source software during developmemt. Imagine needing to like... Compress an audio file and needing to write your own compression code.
