Notable quotes
“We have even had videos we own full rights to and permissions for removed as well. We are not sure why this is happening, but please be aware and be cautious.”
“I honestly don't have a good answer here. I don't know how you could really play and stream these games without showing the back boxes.”
“I think that the whole world of literature is something that has been kind of bypassed at this point, especially with LCD screens becoming so prevalent and the need for such large licenses.”
“I think that's the kind of thing that we're going to see more of are these smaller titles... these are the titles that I'm spending more of my time on.”
“We as the consumer are not the only consumers out there. And us as the subsection of fans are not the only people playing.”
