And I will always be in his debt for that. So Mike Biffle, congratulations on Vampirium 1997 getting announced today. What's it all about?
Thanks so much. That was clearly a good investment. It's paying off for literally decades. Yeah, Vampirium is Vampirium 97. It's an immersive sim. It's kind of minimalist. It's interesting. Essentially, you play as a vampire assassin working your way around various interesting locations. Dracula is the king of the British Empire. You need to kill his enemies for him. People seem to dig it. It's going down well. We're going to make it We're going into early access. We're going to make it with the audience and kind of really iterate on it publicly, basically, and just kind of get those hardcore players giving us feedback and notes. I'm really excited about it. It's the first time we've done that kind of open development in a while because we've been doing, you know, we did some stuff with Disney.
We did some stuff with John Wick. This is really cool to be able to... There you go. This will be really great just to be able to share that in public and kind of have that conversation. But yeah, so it's off to a good start. People are liking it. People are wishlisting it. If you're watching this and this sounds interesting, please go on Steam and wishlist it. Vampirium 1997. But yeah, I'm feeling good about it. 1997. If you're not in it though, Greg, that's the only floor.
