Quotes (from this video)
- there's so many different versions of our favorite games that it's almost impossible to own them all
- we're kind of being onslaught with these two-player games because people have often thought well I've only got my significant other to play with I guess I will buy a two-player only game
- do we need both when the multiplayer version still allows you to play at two players do I need the two player only Duo version of the game
- Duo versions of popular games sell relatively better and are far more appealing to the general public than expansions to a game
- the selling value or the marketable value of a Duo game is going to be far more potent than any other version of the game
- a two-player version does funnel that feeling and the moments of tension far better than say something that's designed for a multiplayer game
- what was old is new becomes this momentum of bringing classic games again to the Forefront of everyone's Minds
- it inserts into your mind this need to own everything
- these versions or offshoots of these popular games are really really taking over and almost confusing and clouding the consumer
- just cuz it says you know two players doesn't mean that's better than the original you might buy and go o actually it's not better than the original or I'd rather just play the original
- it does feel like lazy game design it does feel like a cash grab
- it really has to set itself apart if I really want to own that two-player version
- this is shelf space this is our valuable time this is our valuable money that we've spent or earned
