“While XLOC understands that most organizations are willing to let locs be the lowest item on the totem pole, they don’t treat localizations with any less professionalism. In the process, they educate the publisher and developer to give locs the respect they deserve. They are crusaders for localizations.”
Producer, Call of Duty: Finest Hour
