We made profits, but not quite as much as we wanted to, so next time we will make a franchised sequel with AI workers instead. Nothing can go wrong.

(In a Morgan Freeman narrator voice) Oh how wrong they were. Some might say that they shit the bed with such thinking and actions. Others... Might believe that they didn't know better. The fuck they didn't! The 'all mighty dollar' was their carrot on a stick that was placed in front of them by nearly soul dead board members and deep pocketed 'investors.' A fixation on the "all mighty dollar" in this extreme capitalistic parent company EA, has shown us endless times, they don't give a fuck about you or your hobby. Just as long as you continue to throw your money at them like a good little dipshit who can't seem to realize that you're being played.

I actually heard Freeman in there excepting the cussin' which I'm a fan of and use often but doesn't lend itself to his voice imo. Still awesome tho
