Geekenstein discussion w/ Bobby King

[shutyertrap]

Let's just say I've heard enough of the 'origin story' interviews. I'm not gonna wade through a half hour of audio where 26 minutes of it is stuff I already know. That's why we like you Jeff!

That and because you look so much like Jimi Hendrix!

Every time I hear Bobby being interviewed he's using a crappy phone. I've heard him interviewed through three sources now and they're all low quality.

I suppose it's about time for another round of question gathering, eh?

Question 1:
Hi Bobby, first of all, what's wrong with your telephone?


j/k it doesn't bother me.

Huh, I hadn't realized TPA was the first third-party game to do the cross-buy thing on PSN.

Did he say 200,000 dollars costs to produce each table? That means they would have spent approximately 6 million on costs so far...?

Sounds about right, once you include licenses, equipment, software, programmer & artist salaries, supporting staff, general overhead, etc.

So they have to sell 80k a pack to break even?
Seems a bit much...and not likely.

Maybe he meant pack. In which case it would only be 40,000.

Still seems highly... wrong. But they must be making money or else this product would have gone belly up a long time ago.
