  Speaker 5: So it's been around a long time until CD Project
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Red came up with it and made the video game.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: That's how I started it. Uh, it was really crappy
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: when it came out first, like it played poorly. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: beat it that I even beat it then it was great. Uh,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: they did a rehash like a year later and improved everything.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: So the story is like a dystopian future, uh where
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: people get.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, fine, we don't have an hour.
