Enter Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who commented to Gamespot that now is the perfect time for something like "Red Dead Redemption 2" to help gamers feel better about the political turnout.
Zelnick commented that he thinks "the times are right for a "big, sprawling, optimistic view of America again." He added that the upcoming "Red Dead Redemption 2" will provide an "incredible emotional depth."
