I had two very negative experiences with it, which basically led me to swear that I was never going to make a creative product based on someone else's work again. It may be great for other people. yrs-- --Ben For what it’s worth, my negative reaction to collaboration is totally personal.

I don't think I've found one yet among the indie kids I've been hanging with. After attempting to work together a few times, I think I found that Shreyas and I work better bouncing ideas off each other than trying to actually work together. And Ben and I think too differently on a lot of crucial points to be an effective team. Eero and I might be able to do a game together, but we've never seriously tried. I'd love to do a game with Annie or Mo or Brand or Andy K, but who knows if any of those team-ups would work. Just because people are really awesome doesn't mean an effective working relationship is possible. Having a good co-collaborator is worth its weight in gold.
