I'm not gonna mention names...

One day I called the publisher of my favorite game of all time to see what was in store for the future.

And the person on the phone asked someone else in the office

"Do we have a fishing game?"

"We don't know of any fishing game"

I was shocked! How could you not know you had a fishing game?

Man, man... man oh man.
