"This is a huge opportunity for our company; to be working with the most successful and proven publisher of video games in the world," said Chris Taylor, President of Gas Powered Games. "We worked hard to find a publisher that shared our vision for this new title, and it's really no surprise that we partnered with EA. It was the unanimously smart decision for us, and we couldn't be happier about it."
