Max Spielberg--who is the creative director and co-founder of the game development studio FuzzyBot--told MinnMax that it was his father who got him into gaming. And the elder Spielberg is particularly into shooters.
"He loves gaming, he's the one that got me into it," said Max Spielberg. "He plays games. He's a big PC gamer and so that's kind of our bonding point as well. He's like, 'Hey what's good, what new Call of Duty should I be playing, send me a list of the top five shooters, I'll get 'em downloaded and we can play 'em together when you come over to the house.'"
It's kind of charming that Spielberg would rather wait to play the games locally alongside his son rather than playing online. But Max Spielberg also revealed that he's been unable to get his dad to try any console games because he's too attached to playing with a keyboard and mouse.
"He's big into story games and I'm always trying to get him to play Uncharted," noted Max Spielberg. "You know, it's Indiana Jones, you'd appreciate this,' and he's always 'I can't do controllers; I only do keyboard and mouse.'"
