There are so many smart, talented people there – look for more great things to emerge over the next several years. I love the little touches that people left around the studio like this little Toasty homage on the bathroom mirror.
I wouldnt have lasted 37 years in the industry if fans werent out there playing the games we made. Thanks to all of you for supporting what weve done.
Live long and
Toasty!”
