Play It Forward Interactive
My name is Felipe Rojo, and I produce and collect physical videogames. I'm passionate about designing and publishing what is most valued to devoted gamers: tangible physical products that grant ownership, collectability, preservation, and the choice to touch, smell, feel, treasure, and celebrate videogames as works of human art that ooze cultural heritage and proliferate inspiration.
With this in heart, I have founded Play It Forward Interactive to facilitate the noteworthy release of physical videogames. The company is founded on 20+ years of experience bringing over 3,000 videogame SKUs from 80+ publishers to customers around the globe, with the collaboration of 25+ international distributors providing developers and publishers of all sizes access to markets worldwide.

"'Playing' is not simply a pastime — it is the primordial basis of imagination and creation. Truth be told, Homo Ludens (Those who Play) are simultaneously Homo Faber (Those who Create)."
"In the future, we will play games while floating naked in a tank of warm, sensory-depriving gelatin. Games will be distributed chemically, into the gelatin, and absorbed into the player's skin. The gelatin will be Lingonberry-flavored, and the games will encourage good citizenship."
"I think that it is only natural for works to be inspired by each other… We all learn from each other in the hope of creating better games."
"Shigeru Miyamoto, you, sir, are the reason I got into this business and you're the reason I do what I do. Thank you."
"In a way, producing, experiencing, and interacting with art is like participating in a long-running conversation that artists have been having and will keep having in the future."
"One of the saddest things about playing a game you love is when you finish it… providing something that allows people to enjoy the game a little bit more than they would have by just playing it is our main mission."
"Execution is everything: Success is not defined by an idea. It is determined by your ability to execute on that idea."
