Care to share the story or what he said to convince you not to work in videogames?

He may have been saying, "don't work on arcade games". Boon's last major arcade game was "The Grid", which was (in my opinion) a well-made game, but unfortunately it came out during the end of the arcade era. It was a very expensive cabinet at a time when arcades were dying down that pretty much marked the turning of Midway's fortunes (and the arcade industry in general).
