I think the pandemic definitely plays with like, with our time, you know, a process of how we process time and also games getting delayed during the pandemic getting delayed.

And I think so many of these massive games getting canceled, uh,

just attributes to how much worse this cycle has felt.

Like, how much worse that this console cycle has felt.

Because, again, these aren't things that were getting canceled six months into development.

They were pretty deep in, and you can't just...

2030 and on or something like that.

Yeah, I don't know, man.

It's such a funky spot to be in, especially for somebody like Kojima Productions, who is very early on in development for a game that we knew we wouldn't see for a long time.

I mean, I guess that is the question.

Do we think Sony pushes developers like that and go, all right, let's maybe try to scale back visuals and scale back stuff so that things are playable on this current generation?

Even if maybe they wanted to go for a cross-generation thing, now it's seeming more like it might be cross-gen the other way, where, yes, it will be playable on the PS6 whenever that thing is available.

Such a shitty spot to be in.

And we just kind of have to hope that

The AI crash happens a lot sooner than later.

And there's a great video out that our friend Alana Pierce put up talking about the AI sort of situation with all these different companies kind of just...

making big promises in hopes that the investors start to deliver.

And a lot of those promises kind of... A lot of investors seeing, hey, this is a lot of bullshit and not actually real, and it's not going to do anything.

In a similar way to...

what the metaverse was and what, you know, NFTs and everything that we saw five years ago.
