Do you agree with that sentiment?

And what's your perception of the role of marketing and publishing in making games a success nowadays, regardless of how well they're made and reviewed by critics?

Thanks for making the show.

I always look forward to Thursdays when I get to tune in to the latest episode.

Big love from a fellow journalist in Bangalore, India.

Cool.

Cool.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, yeah.

What do we think of this?

This is like kind of relevant to last week.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Really fitting because like I think we were we were kind of probing Nels a little bit about marketing last week.

And there is definitely a lingering question of like even if that even if Generation Exile was splashed on billboards in Times Square and on buses on the street, would it still would it have been a hit?

Like would that have changed the course of it?

And yeah, I don't know, more and more I've actually felt just talking to people like marketing is less relevant than ever, or at least that marketing has to be approached in a very different way.

It was really interesting, actually, and I wanted to follow up on this.

I don't think I got a chance, but like Nell's talking about kind of following the beats of the traditional playbook.
