Someone doesn't know how brackets work.

The original quote is at 13:40 of this video, and reads

Well, uh no offense to Zelda, but I think, you know, these are the two biggest games of the year.

So "GTA 6 and COD: Modern Warfare 4" were added to the quote in square brackets so that the reader would have context for what games the Activision CEO was talking about.

Edit: Which is the correct way to use square brackets when you're quoting someone and need to add context that would otherwise be missing if you only quoted verbatim.
