Electronic Arts
Monday, September 22, 2008 was Green's first official day as an employee of Electronic Arts. Green began contributing to an unannounced project, but within a month was transferred to another project. "I am seeing some of the volatility of the game biz." In November 2008, Green said he was helping to research future games in the SimAnimals line. Within six months of his employment at EA, Green had been moved to a new project three times. Green wrote dialogue and other text for SimAnimals and MySims Agents, and helped promote MySims Agents at the 2009 Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
Green has said that the transition from writing about games to making games was difficult, but that the work is "incredibly rewarding…simply for the fact that it is challenging me". The collaborative process of developing a game is what he has found most fascinating. "It becomes clearer and clearer to me just how complicated the business of making a game is, and the near miracle it is to get all the people involved aligned and understanding of what it is you're trying to do."

Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or arts:
“The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard Arkwright, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
