And so it's interesting. We've had a couple different Super Chats and regular chats come in. One of them came from Jakubra, I believe, over on Twitch, who said peer pressure is how you get them into playing other stuff, which on one hand is true, but on the other hand I think is completely false because I always go back to when Jack Poe's son, 10-year-old, was here last summer, right?

and we were playing Fortnite with him, and we kept trying to get him to play Helldivers, Helldivers, and they finally started playing Helldivers and loved Helldivers.

And it's the same thing for Jumps004 in the live chat on YouTube said a story that I'll butcher, I'm sure, but I think it was that his nephew is playing, he saw his friends playing, his nephew is obsessed with a JRPG and Roblox, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get him to play a real JRPG. Like, he just won't touch it. He just wants to play this one in Roblox.
