Favorite games IT bosses of Russia

Recently, an interesting quiz has been published in the press among leading Russian top managers. The following questions were asked:
- Do you play computer games? If so, which ones? If not, why not?

Evgeny Butman, Apple IMC Russia CEO :

I play sometimes in strategies such as Civilization, Ages of Empires, Ages of Mythology. Games help me to concentrate and relax.

Alexey Kuzovkin, General Director of RBC SOFT :

I used to play, now I don’t, I feel sorry for the time. At first he liked Wolfenstein, then Civilization and Warcraft.

Birger Sten, Head of Microsoft Office in Russia and the CIS :

I myself prefer to play online versions of chess. And with the children - I have three of them: a nine-year-old and four-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son - we play a lot of educational games. I believe that computer games for children, with their rational use, bring great benefits. While talking to a child psychologist, I was surprised to learn that games that coordinate coordination between eyes and hands are especially useful for boys. In addition to computer games, we are fond of games on mobile devices. We play on the Xbox in the "younger" version of Star Wars. The eldest daughter is engaged in tennis - we play together in "computer tennis". The game allows her to see a picture of the tennis field as a whole, and not just watch the flight of the ball, as it happens in life. In this case, I do not allow children to spend at computer games for more than 1 hour and 40 minutes a day. We have an agreement with them: when at the end of this time the timer is triggered, they are sent to do other things.

Boris Scherbakov, Oracle Vice President, General Director, Oracle CIS :

I do not play: it is not interesting, and there is no time. I love games in which you have to interact with a live person, where there is a coexistence, a fraction of good luck. Among computer games, I have not seen such. For me in the game, communication is more important than winning.

Jean-Paul Bergmans, President of Sun Microsystems in the SSE region and Head of Representative Office in the CIS :

I play a flight control helicopter simulator, since my hobby is piloting a helicopter. I play when there is no opportunity to train "live" in order not to lose qualifications.
