Maybe AI changes that, right?

Where maybe you're not making an infinite investment in software over time because you can hold it steady with automation.

Does it feel like that's real to you?

All right, noted.

Chris does not think the sass-pocalypse is here.

We'll have you back in a few years.

We'll see if that's true.

Let's talk about video games.

I want to wrap up here by talking about video games and then the culture and IP broadly because I feel like the way fandoms respond to IPs over time is changing, and I really want to get your take on it.

Let's just start with video games broadly.

Do you know how to fix the video game industry?

Because it doesn't seem like they know.

So I'm curious about this in your own slate of games.

You got a big bet this year on Exodus.

It's supposed to be a big cornerstone IP.

It's a huge investment.

You also just had Baldur's Gate 3.

It was, I think, made in the system you're describing, right?

That studio was in Belgium.

But you're not working with that studio anymore, and you've got a big bet on a new IP.
