Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia.

Bandai Namco, however, maintains its influence in the face of that claim:"Some employees may need to wait a certain amount of time before they are assigned their next project, but we do move forward with assignments as new projects emerge … There is no organisation like an 'oidashi beya' at Bandai Namco Studios designed to pressure people to leave voluntarily.

Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia.
