Moved this off the Konspire2b page, but comments are welcome as to whether it's encyclopaedic? Ojw 14:33, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Was probably marginal in 2004, but since Rohrer has resurfaced in a completely different context (indie/art games) and gotten a bunch of press for it, he's definitely notable now. --Delirium (talk) 11:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Changes

edit

I just made a lot of changes to this article, notably creating a Games section and moving relevant info from the introduction into that section. They're a little bare-bones, but I plan to do some polishing in the future. Goodbye Galaxy (talk) 18:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The NY Times Magasine

edit

This article refers to Rohrer and may contain information valuable to improving this article. In particular:

Two years ago, almost no one had heard of Jason Rohrer. Then he made Passage, a brief but powerful meditation on mortality that created a stir even before it caused Clint Hocking, the creative director at Ubisoft, the world’s fourth-largest game company, to shed tears. Hocking used Passage to publicly indict his colleagues at last year’s conference. “Why can’t we make a game that . . . means something?” Hocking asked. “A game that matters?”

Apparent vandalism in "personal life"

edit

This diff appears to be vandalism: https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Jason_Rohrer&diff=prev&oldid=762165365

The sentence that was added doesn't make sense: "Rohrer is a friend of famed content-adjacent developer, Andy Lin."

The phrase "content-adjacent developer" doesn't seem to have any meaning.

The person's name may not be a real person; there is a reference at one of Rohrer's web sites, http://thecastledoctrine.net/contestResults.php , to an "Andy Lin" as the name of an artist, but there is no other source provided for this information about this person.

The only other edit from a user with the same IP address as this anonymous editor is apparent vandalism, https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Merkin&diff=prev&oldid=773844526 Mherdeg (talk) 04:54, 17 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
