*A few months after Dread's release, Aloguín walked by a low-floor apartment and saw through the window that an entire family was playing it. He felt he still had not grasped the importance of what MercurySteam had made.Sergio Aloguín (Mr_Wester). "Estaba caminando por la calle, y he visto a través de la ventana de un piso bajo que había una familia entera jugando al Metroid Dread en una televisión enorme. ¶ Creo que todavía no soy consciente de la importancia de lo que hemos hecho 😭" ("I was walking down the street, and I saw through a low-floor window that there was an entire family playing Metroid Dread on a huge television. ¶ I think I am still not aware of the importance of what we have done 😭") 12 December 2021 2:05 p.m. Tweet. https://twitter.com/Mr_Wester/status/1470107666303365125
