Rayman is a complete direct overlap in audience as the new Grand Theft Auto game.
But how about I put my game out a week before GTA?
It better be before.
It can't be after.
There's just such a huge buffer before and after.
I feel like someone is going to move around their game release.
After this weekend, you're going to see some people be like, oh, you know what?
We're just going to move it a little bit.
Later, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah, and less free-to-play stuff everywhere.
I think...
The updates that you did see for things along that line, I feel like were updates to existing live service games that were on the horizon, existing successful ones like Sea of Thieves or anything like that.
Refreshing to kind of get all of that garbage.
Not that all of that is garbage, but get that out of the limelight so much that there isn't a bunch of...
of garbage being made just trying to cash in.
And, you know, I'm a big single-player narrative experience guy.
And I also feel like when I do have a craving for a sort of multiplayer fix, I think we're in a really nice era right now where there are plenty of indie devs making games
really low-budget, excellent multiplayer experiences, whether or not you call them friend slop or not, there is no shortage of great things to play with friends, even if there isn't a several-billion-dollar budget behind those experiences.
No, you're not crazy.
