Iranian-American programmer Nasir Gebelli was instrumental in the evolution of video games and notably programmed the first three Final Fantasy games himself, consequently earning the adoration of Doom Guy John Romero, who previously called Gebelli his "programming god, my idol." After spending years out of the public eye, Gebelli recently appeared in a Japanese documentary chronicling the origins of Final Fantasy to discuss his work history and creative process, and to casually say that programming some of the most influential JRPGs in history "was pretty simple."

Imagine, a time when a full game studio was a dozen guys/gals in a cramped windowless room. Wish we could go back... #OpenOfficeConceptsCanBurnInHell

Those cramped windowless rooms are open offices. They didn't have cubicles in them rooms.

There's a difference between an Open Office, and a Pit.

[–] shyguyblue 4 points 1 day ago

Yup. I can sit next to a fellow programmer for hours in a pit, but you put me next to some Account Service jackass who's on the phone all day and I'll snap!
