so you didn't know I actually remember this this is a while ago Jay talked about this but you didn't know if you could were able to add, give something special to people in EA when the game comes to 1.0 mhm, and a possibility would to buy a hard copy of the game, only for pre-release players so I don't think we're going to do that, we probably won't buy hard copies for everyone who has the game right now because there are, more than 5 million people yeah and and, us buying hard copy for 5 million people is just not on the radar, it's a bit of a shame cuz like- I really hope we could do something for the the like people in Early Access but the one of the issues with our game and something that we're kind of like always designing around is like we do want our game to be sort of you can Mo so you can mod the game and have it sort of free to people to sort of Tinker with it so like if we add some something like an in-game item for instance that you know only people in Early Access are going to get like it's really easy to someone with moss just like now I have it, it's really easy to like circumvent that stuff it's the same thing like why actually I won't talk about that I just realized ignore what ignore that I just L into something else but, like essentially we can't like that's one of the the issues with us having the game like being open for that kind of stuff is that people it's really easy to like take advantage of that stuff, you know and it same goes for like the mechanics of the game you know like for instance you can't get rid of, plutonium waste in our game, but like it's really easy to just load up a save editor and just like delete it like and and if we're going to start like trying to circumvent that stuff it's it's like a slipper or slope of, that kind of stuff we could throw a party for 5 million people in the office we could try that you know what that doesn't sound like a bad idea let's do it what could possibly go wrong not everyone would show up obviously so like if we if we keep I'm pretty sure five million would people would show up definitely I mean yeah book Andrew is already booking his flight right now did it make the newspaper the hell not yeah game company goes bankrupt by throwing party for 5 million people 5 million people show up that's half of Sweden and it's like an interview and the interview you and the quot is just like I didn't think everyone would show up that's that's the entire article oh dear I mean think of the revenue for the country though I'm literally bringing in like yeah yeah, and just like to to add on on what, Misha said here like just add a super intrusive like anti-che system with Cal level access plus always online finger like that's the problem with like those type of services where like you you need those, like I understand the frustration where people are like why do why do I have to always be online to play these games and granted satisfactory to a certain degree is like that right because we we have designed it to be a multiplayer game but like you can play single player you can like play with that like if we start doing stuff like that then we kind of need those services to be able to like maintain that system or like maintain that functionality so to speak and and we don't like that we think that is it's like it it's not worth it for the consumer in that aspect with like what you get out of it versus like how insuff insufferable it becomes for everyone else yeah so, it's It's Tricky I wish there was something we could do though- I think, we're going to think about that a little bit, because, we do appreciate everyone who's been in our laxis and bought the game in our relaxis you guys are legends in our eyes, and then everyone who buys it after 1.0 you guys don't mean a [ __ ] for us okay you're the reason we're here yeah I'm kidding
