American McGee is the fellow behind some of the more interesting games in recent memory, most famously the Alice series that throws our young heroine into a murky, dream-like slaughterhouse.

In this interview, American McGee talks about many issues that will shape the future of gaming, like the free-to-play model, the twisted death spiral that is retail game marketing, and what next-gen consoles mean to the industry. GameInformer has the story.
