	Seropadope: Alex Seropian Profile from 1UP.com
		Seropian recognizes the delicate balance between consumer and developer that leads to the proliferation of sequels.
		Although Seropian understands the argument that creating a game mechanic is different from creating art and playing a game differs from experiencing art, modern games are as much about the visual and aural experience they provide as they are about gameplay.
		Seropian is adamant that videogames should not be censored but allows that they should be rated.

	Halo Creator, Spectrum on 'Quest' for reality
		Seropian said the game also will be designed to offer the best MMO game players the chance to appear on Season 2 of the TV show.
		Seropian said "X Quest" was created from the ground up as a TV show and a game "structurally designed to exist in the same virtual world." Although the reality show will be unscripted, a fair amount of story was created for it.
		In this sense, Seropian said the TV show was similar to designing a game, which has a story but leaves the gamer many choices in interacting with the world.

	News - Old E3 'served no purpose' - Alex Seropian /// Eurogamer
		Alex Seropian, co-founder and former CEO of Halo developer Bungie, has said he's relieved that E3 has been downsized into a smaller event - adding that it benefited publishers much more than developers.
		Seropian now runs Wideload Games, which he established after leaving Bungie.
		So you could say there was definitely some disappointment that is how everything ended up with the number of units that were sold, but in hindsight we learned a lot from the project.

	Focus On: Wideload Games' Alex Seropian // GamesIndustry.biz
		For Alex Seropian, the answer was a somewhat unusual one.
		A number of other ex-Bungie staff moved to Wideload with Seropian - but the new studio is certainly not "Bungie Junior," and one of the most interesting aspects of it is the radically different approach which it is taking to game development.
		After so many years at the company, Seropian obviously isn't joking when he says that leaving Bungie was a difficult decision - and he certainly has some fond memories of the now world-famous studio.

		Alex was the cofounder of Bungie Studios, a Chicago-based video game company which was acquired by Microsoft in order to create games (such as Halo) for the Xbox.
		Alex states, “We’re not the interactive, entertainment hub of the world, but there’s a little amount of community–there’s the Chicago chapter of the IGDA (the International Game Developers Association)”.
		Interestingly, while I was chatting with Alex there was an actor in the next room jumping around, yelling something unintelligible–it was very loud as the noise echoed off of the hard wood floors and open space of the office.

		In 2003, Alexander Seropian founded Wideload Games, Inc. ; and he and his initial staff of ten people (most of who, like himself, once worked for Bungie Studios) in Chicago, Illinois went to work on a game built upon the Halo engine.
		When Seropian, one of the designers of the original Halo, left Bungie (which he co-founded) in 2002 after the release of Halo, his next venture was to go small: He started Wideload as a smaller game studio where most of the development would be accomplished by outsourcing various technical and asset work to others.
