Q: Thank you for your time today. To get started right away, there was a teaser trailer released to the public for Gamescom. Why Gamescom and not E3?
YS: If the contract with Deep Silver had been completed prior to E3 2017, that might have been an option.
Time was needed for the final signing, so the trailer's release timing ended up being Gamescom.
