Thanks for listening.

See you next time.

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.
