Yeah, I mean, video games are complicated to make.

This is going to be one of the biggest video games of all time, will probably be the best-selling entertainment product of all time.

And so the pressure is very high.

Rockstar and Take-Two, they want this game to be as perfect as possible.

They want it to hit 95-plus in Metacritic.

That's the review score aggregator.

And yeah, these games need time.

Yeah, there's a simple number here, which is that GTA V, the last game in the series, which was released in 2013, has sold 220 million units, which, I mean, that's more.

This one game alone has sold more than most franchises, Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed.

This makes it the second best-selling game of all time, only second to Minecraft, which was released on phones.

So that's kind of a different playing field.

So yeah, the stakes are very high.

And again, I think that people tend to underestimate how difficult it is to make games, especially a game as big and ambitioned and technologically impressive as this one.

I mean, we've seen the trailers.

We've seen what it looks like.

It looks more realistic than any game we've ever seen.

It's going to have a huge open world.

The people at Rockstar are still working on it, still making new stuff for it, still building this world and fixing bugs.

And Ed, you know well that games like Cyberpunk have come out in recent years and needed more time in the oven and came out too early, and that is just disastrous for the companies involved.
