But what if you played as someone else in that series?

Yeah, I think you're making a dead-on-arrival product if you try to... Rebuild a game like SOCOM with multiplayer being your main focus. You have to make something that is single player, something that doesn't require an active player base. Because as we've said, it takes a company like NetEase

to have a developer publish Marvel Rivals, or make Marvel Rivals, and it requires a massive... It not only requires a massive IP like Marvel, but it requires a really, really good game alongside of it, and even then you're not guaranteed to succeed there.

Marvel Rivals is somehow proving a lot of people wrong right now, which is great, but we always kind of knew something will kind of break through this. And... We've seen so many other multiplayer games already just kind of come and go. What was the last thing we thought about? Fortnite Ballistic.

Yeah, I just saw that when I look at Fortnite Ballista, I saw it as more of a push to do more along with all the other little side projects that they've been mentioning. And I just, I don't know, maybe I'm just not in the universe enough, but I don't really hear a whole lot of people talking about that stuff anymore. Like I, people know what they want.

People know the, we see it every year where people are spending all their time in games that are five years and older, eight years and older. And so something like Fortnite, I think, Or Call of Duty. I think if you're Sony and you're trying to remake SOCOM, I think an IP like SOCOM is just something that is, that's not coming back.

It has to be a single player thing.

Weird situation.

Weird situation.

I mean, the reason why I disagree is the fact that these two things just got canceled. Like, I think if you... I think if this God of War live service game comes out and it is Diablo where you could play solo player, not saying that it would be top-down, but it is a brawler where you have your...

If you told me that this God of War live service game got canceled because it was 4v4, four gods going against each other, and it's, you know, payload, capture the flower, capture the pointer, I could totally understand. I'd be like, oh, yeah, that does sound like a recipe for disaster and a recipe for people going, well, I already have Call of Duty. I have Overwatch. I have Marvel Rivals.

I have whatever, you know. We have all these multiplayer games. No, thanks. But the idea that whatever this God of War live service thing sounds like there was just based on what the product is, it seems like an outrider situation. You can have your friends play with you multiplayer-wise.
