So let's stop doing it the wrong way and let's give ourselves a chance to go figure out what the strategy is.

The second problem we had was our company was running out of money and I was in a contract with Sega and I owed them this game console.

And if that contract would have been canceled, we'd be dead.

We would have vaporized instantly.

And so I went to Japan and I explained to the CEO of Sega, Iri Majori, really great man.

He was the former CEO of Honda USA, went back to Sega to run Sega, went back to Japan to run Sega.

And I explained to him that I was, I guess I was what, 30, 33 years old.

You know, when I was 33 years old, I still had acne.

And I got this, you know, Chinese kid.

I was super skinny.

And he was already kind of elder.

And I went to him and I said, I said, listen,

I've got some bad news for you.

And, and first the technology that we promised you doesn't work.

And second,

we shouldn't finish your contract because we'd waste all your money and you would have something that doesn't work.

And I recommend you find another partner to build your game console.

Whoa.

And so I'm terribly sorry that we've set you back in your product roadmap.

And third, even though you're going to, I'm asking you to let me out of the contract.
