Today the French Postal Service officially announced the Sims Stamp which is part of their commemorative series about videogames. We all had a chance to grab one at the last team meeting… and it’s probably my favorite piece of Sim memorabilia to date.

Up until now, if someone tried to convince me that I’d be working on a game which would appear on foreign postage – I probably would have laughed. Because the thought of a state body celebrating games in this manner is… so foreign to me, itself. How sad that in its country of origin, the press and legislature have focused so much energy on condeming what they dislike instead of promoting what they’d prefer to see more of in the medium.
