I want to see what that game looks like. I hope that there's a sequel to Blood, Sweat, and Pixels from Jason Schreier. I hope that there's some sort of deep dive into it in the future because I can't even imagine what that game would be.
Three Kratos is running around.

So bizarre.

Yeah, of course, Bloodborne. But I think all the criticism they get for the remakes and stuff is really only having to do with the games that just came out a decade ago. The fact that Last of Us has the remaster that then works on PS4 and then it gets remade for PS5. That's where a lot of the criticism lies. There's plenty of dormant IP that can be revisited and that can be remade.

And I don't necessarily know... I think that they're looking at their catalog right now and wondering what are our weaknesses and how can we kind of... What sort of niches can we fill?

It's also wild that you're losing so many years of development. Can you get any of that development back? Can you use any of that for another project? My gosh. I don't envy them for the spot that they're in right now.

And you obviously feel extremely bad for everybody at Bend and Bluepoint, but I also try to see the glass half full side of things where... In this case, it does feel like Sony saying, hey, we know Concord massively fucked up. We're going to cancel your shit. And in a way, I'm like, oh, that means that they realize that they're at fault for kind of greenlighting all this stuff. Great.

And it's also extremely naive for me to assume that that won't lead to layoffs, but I hope it doesn't. you know.

Yeah, I mean, we know the story there. Yeah, we've kind of assumed that. We've heard in back channels for why the Bloodborne thing was never happening, and that's what I always assume. When Shu talked about it, I was like, yeah, we've kind of been hearing that.
