Notable quotes
“There may be more that meets the eye.”
“I told Stern that that piece alone potentially guarantees them this being a long-term catalog seller.”
“It looks like he's pooping on the toilet.”
“The left area, I think, is not being talked about enough. It's so cool.”
“I think it could last a while. I wonder if this will do better than Star Wars Fall of the Empire.”
“It's not enough for a game to be good or even great anymore. It has to be greater than what they already own.”
“People are willing to trade in games for games that may not even be announced or rumored without even knowing all of the details.”
“I think 90% of them sell in the first 24 hours.”
