I described the game in Mark, we showed what we had and all in GameStop were very impressed about the story. So we set up an unconventional relationship between developer and publisher. "

"This is the project on which we are completely focused at present, and this is the first time we do something like this. There are a lot of things to learn along the way and many more that should be done. One of the reasons why we launched this project is to try to look for different ways to expand our business and bring additional quality to our consumers. This is a different way to bring added value to this audience.
