Why would it matter if the discussion is over the design or how fun the game is vs the technology aspect? The former is a "product focused" perspective, while the latter is more engineering focused. Both are desirable ways to look at software problems.

This is a good point, it depends on the job however. Product focus might not be necessary. I've had job interviews where they were concerned that I wouldn't be happy due to not having any control/input over the product.
