Well, we have Magic the Gathering Arena, which has been a very successful product for us.
It's probably the most successful onboard to Magic.
We will be continuing to invest in that platform.
And certainly, we have probably 10 games in development.
Magic is certainly an important brand for us inside of that pipeline.
Well, I'd say politically there isn't a huge difference between Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so that wasn't a real factor for us.
You know, Hasbro has deep roots across New England, particularly in Massachusetts.
Milton Bradley was founded there back in 1860.
Parker Brothers was founded in Salem, Massachusetts, I think, back in the 1890s.
So we're no strangers to Boston.
Really what we were looking for is we were looking for a bigger market in terms of the number of people that we could recruit.
Boston is roughly eight to nine times the size of Pawtucket and certainly Providence where we've been based.
And then it's just easier access.
A big part of our business is partnership.
It's partnership with retailers, it's partnership with licensors.
We have over 1,000 partners crossing 5,000 collaborations, and it's nice to be in a major travel hub like Boston because it just makes it easier for us to be accessible and easier for us to get to our partners as well.
Well, I try not to make business decisions based on my personal finances or personal situation.
You know, moving to Boston had a lot of talent advantages.
It had a lot of transportation advantages.
And it's just a big, dynamic city.
