I got a question here yeah we're in Q a right we've got the yep okay, all right will you guys be moving to Unreal Engine 5.2 for Update 9 to bring Max support to satisfactory nice way to sneak in an apparent leak for update nine who knows if there will be one or not but yeah I don't know but, yeah- I have no idea what the plans are there are things in 5.2 that I know some people are interested in but obviously upgrading engine versions is a massive task, upgrading from four to five is a massive task but also upgrading from like in our experience from, one four version to another four version was a big task as well so I don't know if that's the case we have to weigh up whether or not it'd be worth it who knows in terms of bringing mac support, one thing that we need to make super clear like I so I don't know what there is about 5.2 that might allow for Mac support I don't know if there's something special right but regardless regardless of what apparently it is, it never works as you think it does and if we, and if we do support Mac, it will never be as simple as pressing a button there'll be a whole bunch of other responsibilities that we will have, and like platform specific bugs and things like that so if we do do that we need to take that into account as well and historically we've not wanted to support other, like platforms like Mac or or even like things like console and stuff as well because we know how much time that's going to take away from actually pushing the game's design and development forward because so much time will be spent on things that allow for other platforms which is good but it doesn't push the game forward so that's kind of how that's you know the logic has always been for that kind of thing so I don't know- I don't I don't see that anytime soon but you never know might change I don't know if there is something in in 5.2 if you don't remember reading about it in the patch notes because like there should be already you know somewhat of a maybe it's like for empty sure I'm not sure process design because I know people ask about that too but I'm not sure if that actually has any effect on it yeah either way even if it has full support for now that doesn't mean it comes for free, ever never know so yes
