GS AU: The game will be getting some competition from EA’s MMA product. What’s your view on that?
DG: EA, which is a very well-known company and who makes big sports games, they couldn’t get our license. They were not fans of the UFC, they were not fans of mixed martial arts–and they decided to change their business plan and became a “me too company and create a me too fighter. They couldn’t get what they really wanted, so they tried to create a game that would compete with us. We have a lot of respect for them, but there’s nothing in that game that would entice me or anyone I know that’s an MMA fan to buy it. If you want stars, the best organization, the best graphics, you’re going to stick with what you bought last year because this year’s game is even better. And the fact that we didn’t cheat or cut corners in 2010, I think our fans are going to be very happy.
