Would it be technically ah would it be technically possible to play in photo mode or would that be bad for performance? Is there a reason you don't want it? Is there a reason you don't want it? Uh this has been talked about obviously. Um filters first and foremost. Uh I'm not sure like it's not happening by the way for 1.1 at very at the very least. Um, you can't conventionally play the game with photo mode filters or mode turned on. Um, that dance wore me out. Like I'm kind of catching my breath. Sorry. Um, I don't have a good answer as for why not because I feel like there are quite a few micro answers baked into this one. Um, optimization or performance is one of them. Yes. Um the other reason is I feel maybe Hannah can also comment on this as an actual designer but I feel like design integrity of the art of the world of the, design of the world I'm not sure like how much of that has played into it if any talk has been done at all. I mean, personally, I feel like something like this is if it's a conscious choice from the player to do this and it is clear that this is not like the the default or intended experience, it's fine, I think, to give them that that choice. Um, but again, that's just looking at it from that one perspective. But, yeah, I don't I know it's just been it's been an ongoing conversation here mostly. That's all I know. I don't really know what the conclusions have been or if there have been any conclusions at all about this. Yeah. So, yeah. Don't know. But it is a topic. Yeah. We are looking at topic and for this one. Yeah. It's not happening right now, but no real clear answers because the talks are pointing at many different things both for and against.
