Thanks for talking about the connection between Yooka Laylee and Banjo & Kazooie - that's a very neat tie-in between the games. I also never realized the developers for Void Bastards also worked on Magic: The Gathering.

No problem, Yooka Laylee was compared a lot to Banjo Kazooie so it felt right to include that tie-in. Also, same.
