And yes, it’s sad. No, I know why people have to tell these kinds of stories. What can you do about it? You are trying to explain to people who you are, you are trying to preserve the values ​​that define you.

I think it was great for the studio to share it with everyone (…) First date with David Bowie was a magical moment. Or the first time we saw our game in a store, it was unforgettable: You spend all these years on something and suddenly you see it in a store, and it’s an incredible feeling.”

I remember unforgettable moments when Connor and Hank’s actor was on set.”

followers. Honestly, the gaming community is really great.
