The real reason there’s no Half Life is that nobody at Valve can agree what to do with it. They want a technical innovation to base it around, but all we have is… VR. The bi-metal situation is quite different. It’s a low-priority high-effort product. ---

I’m just waiting for you to release any yoyo. It’s been 20 years and you haven’t released anything. Why is it taking you so long? ---

Gosh, what a clever retort. Now everyone will forget that you still have not released a bi-metal yo-yo after all these years. I am so torched! ---
