It was one when you played as Trevor, but he was a secret agent.
Oh.
It was cute.
It never quite came together and it was never finished.
It was about half done when it got abandoned.
But I think if that had come out, probably wouldn't have got to make Red Dead 2.
So there's always compromises.
But it was, you know, I like making the stories.
For me, I love the model of GTA 4 when you had the extra stories coming afterwards.
Or Red Dead 1 when you had the zombie pack coming afterwards.
I like just doing these extra things.
So I personally like to have...
done more of that in that company and with stuff we're doing in the future we're going to try and come up with worlds where we can add more stories I like single player DLC I just think the audience loves it and it's really fun to make
If you get it right.
We still love single player games.
And I think...
we started up absurd we did a lot of soul searching yeah and also a lot of like cynical looking at looking at what goes well in the industry luckily if you want to do what we're forced to do and also what i want to do which is make new ip you need single player games you can launch a multiplayer game as a with new ip it's just extremely hard so luckily we are like
focusing on what we're good at which is open world single player games and we might add multiplayer components to one of them I think one of them it's going to be really tough later on but we're still thinking that through but I think we're really leaning into single player experience as being a strength for us as a company and something we love to do and I think something a large part of the audience prefers and I'd love to with all of those keep single player DLC one way or another going
Never thought a lot about a Pirate Game.
My son is obsessed by that game Sea of Thieves at the moment.
