Perfect final appeal.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
The CEO behind Grand Theft, Auto and Take to Interactive
Straus Zelnik talks about how he balances creativity and risk.

run the risk of its making horrible creative mistakes, then
you can can't play in this business.

it really means to be guaranteed human.
