Notable quotes

“He sold more in two days than he sold of Dune in almost six months”
Kaneda
“I don't feel special if I have one [Star Wars LE]”
Kaneda
“Dune would have sank the company if they didn't have this [Winchester] ready to go. Let's be honest.”
Kaneda
“I think that's the most telling is John Borg doesn't even feel like he's excited about his own game”
Kaneda
“It's an operator's dream. Nothing's going to break. It's Star Wars. It's inviting.”
Genghis
“Where Winchester, no one even knew it was coming. It's not missing anything you wanted in it.”
Kaneda
“Winchester's, like, how to do it right, and Predator's how, like, not to do it. And then American Pinball will show you how to, like, hold my beer.”
Kaneda
“I carried around a plastic from the apron in my bag the whole Expo waiting to run into Borg”
Kaneda
