That's cool. The DLC sounds... I mean, obviously, Black Myth has been so tremendously successful, right, from a sales and a critical standpoint, that I think an Erdtree-level... DLC feels nailed on, and a sequel as well, right? We aren't going to be surprised when these are announced.
And what are the issues surrounding an Xbox release? Is it something that Sony has locked down?

unless there is a tinfoil hat sony thing then we might see it i mean i mean sony are very protective with their exclusives much like xbox seems to be adopting a very kumbaya like well you know we're not even ruling out you know halo and forza on playstation like and it's all up for grabs and they are bringing some of their big games that they own and could make exclusives if they want to to playstation yeah right um but playstation seems to be much more like no these are my toys and no one else gets to play with

I will say... Again, that's a valid business strategy as well.

It pretty much... At Parody, right? A Series X and... Maybe it's a Series S issue?

If a game runs on PlayStation 5, you can make it run on the Series X, right? There isn't... I think the Series S is the problem. Well, again, that's the thing. And they had that whole Baldur's Gate issue, right?

I think this came up with Baldur's Gate as well when this was an issue. And I asked the same question at the time. Do you think if... If the Black Myth developers went to Xbox and said, look, we've got it running great on the Series X, but we've tried it every which way.

It's a step down, but it's not like the Switch version of Mortal Kombat or something. It's like, this is just shit. Generally, they're not as good, but they're still viable.

When it's a game that big, and you can argue that Black Myth is... I don't know if...
