I am still fascinated with The Product, even if I have no intention of purchasing or playing it. Still listening, but some interesting tidbits so far are Braces reiteration that he isn't (legally) making any money on the game, and that one thing that inflated the cost of the game were the legal fees to have it reviewed to make sure it wouldn't be actionable in court. He also confirmed that courting negative media attention was 100% intentional and part of the game's marketing strategy.

    Wild that this could even be brought to court because it offends the sensibilities of pmc lanyard dorks who work in the media.
