* WordOfGod: Possibly the most frustrating instance in any fandom ever, as Myst's [[WordOfGod Word Of RAWA]] '''specifically contradicts onscreen canon'''. Of-course onscreen canon often [[RetCon contradicts itself too.]]
** ShrugOfGod: RAWA also frequently point out that if fans disagree with anything he say they are [[FanonDiscontinuity free to disregard it]].

* CreatorBacklash: The Miller brothers have expressed their regrets for the underground mazerunner puzzle in the Selenitic Age, saying they didn't expect anybody to actually map that puzzle out ([[spoiler:The idea was for you to listen to the sounds and use TrialAndErrorGameplay to figure out which cardinal direction the sounds meant, but very few people got the hint]]).

Actually it\'s been ten years since I read that, I don\'t even know if that\'s true anymore, or just a rumour. I can\'t find that information anymore I removed it. But please if someone can proof this, re-add it


* Rand Miller admitted he hated playing Atrus, it was nothing personal towards the games or the character. It was simply that he was a game designer not an actor, and thought he was undeserving of a role that he felt should have been played by a professional.

* KillerApp: Originally, it was one of the selling points of the Mac. And when it was finally ported to the PC, PC owners actually bought a sound card and a CD-ROM drive along with the game (the latter was necessary as the game only came on CD-ROM, the former was necessary to enjoy the game fully since a typical PC of the era had no built in sampled audio capabilities- also, sound cards of the era included a built in SCSI controller, which is actually necessary when adding a CD-ROM drive to a PC because IDE CD-ROM drives weren't developed yet and all CD-ROM drives of the era only had SCSI interfaces). In other words, it was the killer app that nudged the PC towards the built in audio and multimedia path that it is following today.
