Why did we choose "Be Game Social"?

We threw around a lot of names, but nothing really stuck. Then, one Sunday morning, James asked me, "If I asked you to 'be social', what would you say?"

"Make friends? Get to know people?"

"Be work social?"

"Make connections at work?"

"And to 'be game social'?"

And that's what it's all about, isn't it? Games bring people together. They give people a common ground, and a chance to spend quality time away from the cares of everyday life.

I will never forget what Will Wheaton said. To paraphrase, "This is why tabletop games are so much better than video games. When you play a video game, you look at a screen. When you play a board game, you look at each other." I was amazed at how, with just cutout pieces of plastic, cardboard, and paper, and their imaginations, players could get the same satisfaction as with millions of lines of code.

Thank you so much for your interest in us, and in Crazy Cake. I hope it will be just the first of many games to come.
