"The demand for the characters in the game to be so pure and so the same is a worry. Say one bad word and you'll get blasted out of the room. Managers and players are super safe, they're advised about everything and that's a worry."
"I get the coverage is huge, it's global and you have to conduct yourself a certain way, but I don't believe you can't have a bit of a joke or banter. I got in plenty of trouble just for having a laugh."
