Quiet: The Power of Fumito Ueda in Video Games That Can't Stop Talking

Fumito Ueda's creative philosophy, Design by Subtraction, has had me under a spell for seven whole years.

In this video we'll use the book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain as a framework to argue for the benefits of understated, quiet art. Can video games be categorized on the introversion-extroversion spectrum? Do you prefer maximalist games over minimalist games?
