One of the UK games magazines wanted to cover the exact moment of the Gold Master being produced. To "Capture the atmosphere of the moment", as they put it. However they changed their minds as soon as we told them what was actually involved. The truth is it's a special moment for us when we make a master disk, but nothing special actually happens. We fire up Nero, burn some disks, run tests on them, then put them in an envelope and walk to the post office. It often seems like there should be something bigger involved - like a big red button that we can press, that sets everything into motion while fireworks go off out the window and a live orchestra plays the 1812 Overture.
