So that helps a little bit. It is pretty wild for them to put a specific date on it. I was, like, reading it. And even as I was reading the date, I'm like, well, they're just saying May 2026. And I kind of had to, like, blink a couple times and see. Like, no, there's a number next to May right there, May 26th. And that was pretty weird to see. Yeah. I do wonder, though.

I mean, you know, they're going to have people in their ear that they do partner with. Rockstar doesn't need anybody, but that doesn't mean they don't actually partner with anybody. And there's likely a co-marketing deal, probably with PlayStation, maybe with Microsoft, but I would bet it's with PlayStation.

And when those conversations happen, there's probably someone, you know, up high who talks to people that go in those meetings and say, hey, if you could, can you get us a goddamn date for when this thing's coming out just to help us out over here? And when we started getting some dates in the last couple of weeks with like those take two games, picking a date and then go see, okay. Yes.

It's like, okay, I bet they've gotten some news. And to me it sounded like, well, they're all kind of bunching up here in the earlier part of, you know, before fall really so that they can get out of the way of Grand Theft Auto six launching this fall. That's kind of how I was reading it. So I like, that's only the reason I'm a little bit surprised. It's like, oh, they are just picking the dates.

They probably wanted anyhow. Cause they did get word that this game is very likely getting delayed to 2026 and And yeah, so them giving a date now and saying, hey, the rest of the industry, here's what we're really aiming for. And we're getting very specific so you can to let you know we're pretty confident. So if you do want to work around us, here you go. Stop bothering us.

You know, it's a nice gesture.

Yeah, it's, you know, Take-Two's got plenty of games coming out this year. They'll figure it out, whatever. But they do have to kind of explain this. They have, you know, remember, like, this money that they were putting on the books was something that they were promising last fiscal year. They've been kind of, like, just gesturing to investors for a while now that this, hey, this is happening.

And then, like, that's shifted to this fiscal year, the one we're currently in. And they were making a lot of big promises because, like, we have Civ VII, and we got...

And if, if you're going to want to like get on the take two train as an investor, well then now's the time because Grand Theft, no, no matter what happens with Grand Theft Auto, even if like we were talking about that catastrophic launch that hypothetically could have happened if they rushed the game or whatever, even in that case, it was going to make all the money.
