Hi, I will be visiting the US in about a months time from now. Im curious to know. Are studio tours a thing ? I know places like Blizzard offer em and I've tried my luck and signed up for it. But do other studios have such things or do you have to know someone on the inside to bring you around. Its my first time in the US…
