@Zorklis @balerion138 @bogorad222 @asgavin's numbers are roughly correct of course. Jak 3 was rushed, but we also had the systems and basics down. Jak 2 had a lot of new tech. Jak 3 not as much. We even re-used some of the City.

@David_Jagneaux No way! I only have 6 copies. 45k total print if I remember correctly. Sold out 3 weeks. EA didn't reprint because they decided to use the allocation on some new football game called Madden.

@RealDannyB It'd be easy to dismiss the import of this moment. Charlotte literally made Crash + Sony happen.

@RealDannyB Worse than that. Universal Interactive told Naughty Dog, and independent company, that it was "not allowed" to go to E3. Needless to say that went nowhere.

@RealDannyB This is not what happened. Universal Interactive took it on themselves to make an animated intro. We have no idea who they contracted, but the image speaks for itself. Naughty Dog took one look and simply rejected it.

Congrats to @ConnieLBooth on her new role at @EA! I’m sure she will positively impact her new teams as she did for @Naughty_Dog!

@genshi @JLabbeII @Naughty_Dog I'm not rewriting history. I remember meeting Joe in the Virgin Megastore and wanting to work with him. He became a Naughty Dog. If you were the person who introduced us, hired him, or were otherwise the serendipity that I called fate - then I thank you.

@Samson143VR @MetaQuestVR @Activision @Microsoft @Meta Not impossible. Unlikely. But we can all dream, right?

Today @SanzaruGames and Oculus Studios received a 10/10 for #asgardswrath2 from @IGN. As (ex) lead of the Meta Content team I can't be prouder of the developer, the Studios team, and @MetaQuestVR for this achievement. #TechCANGame.

@ID_AA_Carmack Even crazier. Think of how far a PlayStation exclusive release seemed from a PC downloadable back then! Different worlds.
