And there was a stigma. It was like, oh, what's the curse? You remember the curse of the video game movie? Of course. That's been completely reversed now. Doomed the movie back in the day.

created environment where it's now easy rising tide lifts all boats right yeah and it's now easier for the next video game well let's say less difficult again it used to be like oh video game adaptation you're already like starting 20 yards back now you're starting 20 yards forward when you pitch these properties to pretty good company to movie companies and tv because they oh yeah we want some of that last of us money of course we want some of that fallout money

And, you know, a few years ago, I'd be like, oh, no, it's pretty unlikely this is going to get made, you know, because of the video game.

But like, which were the 2D ones. Yeah, those are different. But then when Fallout 3 came along, which is actually when it took off for a lot of people. Yeah. I don't know. I kind of checked out.

The closest I've come is the Fallout 4 VR, which I thought, oh, that could be interesting. And I might still give that a try. I think that... If they were to do like a Fallout 3 or a New Vegas remaster, which I don't think they've done yet, right?
