American In China: McGee On Making It Work In Shanghai on Gamasutra is an interview with American McGee, the expatriate American who now plies his game development trade in China. American explains the error of the old saying about the twain never meeting between east and west, since he has been twaining away for years now, going into some detail on how he works with developers from both sides of the world. Other topics include piracy, innovation, and his brief stint at EA where he worked on Michael Crichton's Timeline: "That game subsequently went out and sold one copy, literally. It's called Timeline. They did a really bad movie based on it as well."
