so somebody asked if, let's see if I can highlight the message too do we as Community managers have individual impacts to game development I would say that we have like given the fact that you know our role is we're supposed to sort of keep track of like what is the general opinion of a lot of stuff I would say we have a pretty big like impact on development because well because we represent you guys yeah we represent you guys, so if if there's like if we can sense that there are issues or like if if certain decisions aren't going to be received well or whatever like we do our best to represent you guys at the table yeah and you guys have, a lot of sway like if there's like something that's going to be done that's like really going to be problematic for people we can really really say like hey look- I we didn't think Community is going to be appreciate that or or you need to consider this and this and this if we're gonna you know go down that route, so that like just so that you are con taking their needs into consideration as well and, that is very very valuable and has made a difference in many cases before but we don't have like a lot of power or something like we're just two people out of a team of like 30 you know so yeah we can only do so much but- I would say like on an on an individual individual level because we do come with like you know when when we're expressing like what we're seeing and what we're, like the way we view people's opinions we we do have a lot of power in that sense because you know it's it's one thing it's not just us yeah yeah it's one thing if someone at the studio is like I don't like how the build gun color is or something you know they can be like all right well that's that's that's just like your opinion man and but then when we're like yo actually there's thousands of people that don't like the color of the bill gun maybe we should change it you know that has that does happen yeah more weight in that sense, but it's not but when when you're asking like when it comes to our opinion on stuff though and and like I try to be very clear about that when I took the Mark II like this is what I think this is not what community think when I have opinion yeah and in those cases you know it's the same as like anyone else really on the team, see, how many gigawatts of power do you think you will 69 on me go good one laughs nice dude you really okay finest let's go baby
