That's because Retro Studios is based in Austin, which practically doesn't even count as part of Texas.

Its not that people are not used to hearing the phrase gone gold,  its just that lately they've heard it used for other uses, and are wondering if the meaning is changing, one meaning could possibly become obscure and obsolescent.

I think they use gold master discs to duplicate the other game discs from, so it makes sense.  I am right about this, right?

If anything it is Austinites that feel that they are not part of Texas. When ever anyone around where I live now ( I just moved to the Houston area) ask were I moved from, and I say Austin, they ask me why I had moved away from such a beautiful place.

Hell, when I lived in Austin me and my friends used to check out Retro all the time, but we were too afraid to knock on the door. At my old retail Job we would get people from Retro coming in all the time, not to mention people from NC Soft and Rooster Teeth.

That's what I meant.    I'm not a fan of Texas, but Austin is great.

I kind of meant the first part of my post as jab at people in Austin (I keep forgetting that tone does not translate well on the internet). There are quite a few elitist snobs in Austin who think that they are better than the rest of Texas, the U.S., and the World, and that would probably be my least liked part of the city if I did not like to argue.

You're not an elitist snob if it's true.

I know a bunch of people from Texas, and I have to say, my favorite ones are from Austin.

I never said that the aforementioned elitist snob's are not likable.

All this talk about Austin makes me want to move back.
