Notable quotes
“I'm struggling keeping up with the pace.”
“You're tired too. Getting crispy, starting to hate a lot of pinball people within the industry.”
“It peaked out in the neighborhood of almost 400 simultaneous folks watching the stream.”
“They did talk about supply chain issues that have come up, noted by Robert Mueller. He claimed that all the other manufacturers are running into the same thing.”
“Robert and the crew at Deep Root is fighting something else, though. It's not just about the sale of the game. They are having to fight the narrative and part of their own creation that this is a company that's dealing in vaporware.”
“If you're trying to – it didn't feel like they're trying to sell this thing to me well.”
“Does this undo that damage? I think it does, in part. It does help. It did change that narrative, thankfully, for Deep Root.”
“The ramp actually works. That was another positive for me, positive takeaway.”
“And, fuck, Dennis, the pin bar was cool. In what way? It just visually looked cool.”
“I think that if I was in, and you know, hindsight here, but if I was in his position, the principal, Robert Mueller, I don't know if I show this now. Marketing-wise, you best sell products by the immediate response of them.”
