  PC Gamer: 10/31/06 - Dialog Box - Introversion Software's Chris Delay, Part 2 of 3
PCG: Does Introversion have plans to expand its organization both in size and scope, or are you firmly committed to remaining the last of the “bedroom” programmers?
CD: Introversion games are getting a reputation for being slightly-off-the-wall and quirky, and they seem to attract the older gamer, although it’s difficult to tie down precisely; the Introversion community varies quite a lot.
I think the other aspect that appeals to the slightly older gamer is the fact that many of our games contain nostalgic references to a previous generation of gaming.
