=== AAA Producer's Dilemma (04:27) ===

[00:00:00]  Hi, I'm Alex.
[00:00:01]  I produce video games.
[00:00:04]  Let's get off on the right foot here.
[00:00:08]  We are all going to die.
[00:00:12]  Probably soon and probably painfully.
[00:00:15]  I'm a AAA producer.
[00:00:20]  We are insecure about games.
[00:00:23]  Sure, let's go with that.
[00:00:24]  Why not?
[00:00:27]  When I engage with media, I know that I am dying.
[00:00:33]  So go Gonzo.
[00:00:36]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:00:39]  I want your agenda.
[00:00:42]  Depression Quest is more valid than any mere video game could ever hope to be.
[00:00:47]  I'm a AAA producer.
[00:00:52]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:00:58]  Don't see bias as a bad thing.
[00:01:06]  We seek meaning and guidance from you.
[00:01:08]  They seek to become lost.
[00:01:14]  Their sibilant hissing should not be mistaken for love of games or ideological purity.
[00:01:22]  And our industry would settle to be an eternally burning garbage fire so long as willing consumers stoke the coals.
[00:01:32]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:01:39]  When I engage with media, I know that I am dying.
[00:01:46]  These people who so vociferously defend a quarter billion dollar technical marvel from a woman looking out for the best interests of others.
[00:01:55]  I want your agenda.
[00:01:59]  Don't see bias as a bad thing.
[00:02:03]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:02:07]  I'm a AAA producer.
[00:02:10]  These people who so vociferously defend a quarter billion dollar technical marvel, they are mice that roar.
[00:02:20]  They are mice that roar.
[00:02:25]  Dishonest sacks of hot garbage who should be broken on racks.
[00:02:32]  So go Gonzo.
[00:02:36]  We are all going to die.
[00:02:38]  Probably soon and probably painfully.
[00:02:43]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:02:48]  We seek meaning and guidance from you.
[00:02:51]  They seek to become lost.
[00:02:54]  I'm a AAA producer.
[00:02:58]  I want your agenda.
[00:03:00]  Depression Quest is more valid than any mere video game could ever hope to be.
[00:03:06]  Our industry would settle to be an eternally burning garbage fire so long as willing consumers stoke the coals.
[00:03:14]  I'm a AAA producer.
[00:03:18]  We are insecure about games.
[00:03:24]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.
[00:03:29]  And that's what we're so desperately trying to control.
[00:03:35]  Let's be perfectly clear.
[00:03:37]  Impartiality is bullshit.
[00:03:41]  Don't see bias as a bad thing.
[00:03:44]  I want your agenda.
[00:03:47]  You can't control how you feel.
[00:03:50]  These people who so vociferously defend a quarter billion dollar technical marvel, These people should be broken on racks.
[00:04:03]  You can't control how you feel.
[00:04:06]  Impartiality is bullshit.
[00:04:09]  The game industry is decadent and depraved.

=== Tangible Rockstar Misconception (00:46) ===

[00:04:13]  So go Gonzo.
[00:04:22]  This.
[00:04:24]  This is not a game.
[00:04:26]  It is a disc.
[00:04:28]  It is fragile.
[00:04:29]  It is tangible.
[00:04:30]  It is not nearly as invincible as Rockstar would like us to believe.
[00:04:34]  They are mice that roar.
[00:04:36]  Dishonest sacks of hot garbage who should be broken on racks.
[00:04:39]  I assure you, the game is in fact... fine.
[00:04:56]  In fact, millions of people are enjoying it right now.
