As part of a larger interview and preview of OtherSide Entertainment's upcoming multiplayer sneaker Thick as Thieves with PC Gamer strategic director Evan Lahti, company co-founder and immersive sim OG Warren Spector explained some of the studio's reasoning for splicing the classically single-player genre into a live service PvPvE multiplayer game.
"For years, I've been thinking the next logical step [for immersive sims] was multiplayer," Spector said. "I've said this before: I've spent my entire career trying to recreate the feeling I had when I played D&D for the first time. Though there are solo adventures, typically, you don't play D&D alone."
