I mean, Rascal is kind of more like Enworld. It's more of a niche indie sort of size site rather than like the polygons and IO nines and the really big sort of pop culture, proper mainstream size.

Well, yeah, I mean, like, as I said, I can see it from the other side, because we at EN World, we will get like dozens and dozens of sort of, I'm not sure what the word is, but you know, press releases, reach out to us dozens and dozens of times a day. And there's just literally no way we can cover it all. It's just impossible. It is a firehose. It's so much stuff.

And it's kind of like the article itself is an illustration of the problem because it's not talking about indie games. It's talking about D&D with one mention of Mothership.

From the news publishing point of view, I also get it because people don't read the non-D&D stuff. You put up, I mean, we published quite a lot of non-D&D stuff because we kind of feel like it's our mission. That's our job. But the non-D&D stuff, people don't read it. You know, I mean, some people do, obviously.
