I want to launch this game or more quickly I can and I can’t do it in parts. […] By isso, I credit that it would be practically impossible to ask for any other thing.

In this way, it is said that I have a good idea and I can do it, I will support it. In the meantime, I am not certain that we can do this, so I will say that I should not continue with this plan,” the producer continued.
