Singh also known as Ronnie 2K mentioned, ‘I had been working on that for a while. When he shouted me out in the middle, I was like, “What the hell is happening?”‘
Consequently, he added, ‘I think we’ve earned our position there, and it’s taken years and years of shifting the game, the tremendous amount of work our studio does to be relevant.’
