And the reality was we did.

They didn't know that there was a million other kids that had the same idea, but we loved turning their imaginations into reality.

And in fact, we considered ourselves stewards of that.

We are stewards of their imagination.

How do we just connect the dots and make it come to life?

Yeah, actually, it's one of the reasons why we were one of the first games that had a parent portal, a parent access that allowed them to limit how much time their kids spent online.

So we always said, we don't mind being the bad guy.

You just tell us what time of the day and how long you're willing to let your child play online.

And we would literally pop up a warning, like you've got 10 minutes left to play and five minutes left to play.

And we would be the bad guy giving them the warning so their parents didn't have to.

But that was a feature we custom built from scratch.

There wasn't anything out there.

Now, again, there's parental controls and everything.

But back then there wasn't.

And again, people thought we were crazy because most people are like, no, no, you want more time.

You want them spending as much time as possible, right?

Look at social media.

Well, how are those funded?

They're funded through advertising.

So the advertisers want as much airtime as possible.
