In 2015; he established Romero Games Ltd., an independent game studio located in Galway, Ireland. Their first title, Gunman Taco Truck was released in January 2017 and it was highly praised by critics along with gamers.
I would pay $400 for that book if he signed it and wrote a 5 sentence critique!
I guess Romero is so desprate for cash he is whiling to pawn a copy of a book he is in just for some beer mony. Sad how the mighty has fallen
