“We’ve been playing close attention to the ongoing economic debacle in Washington. It’s really too bad that the people don’t have someone like The Asskickers in real life. Someone who could have jumped up, kicked some political ass and got the wealthy and the politicians to work together for the benefit of the people,” said Stanislas Berton, president of AGO Games. “The Asskickers is about a people standing up to corruption. So, in honor the fact that the bickering US politicians were finally able to do what was best for the American public and work together, we decided to cut the price of our game in half.”
