Do we think it's worth it short-term?
It depends who you ask, actually.
Some people say yes, some people say ow, no, no, make it stop, ow.
Some people say owies.
For example, a notable one that you guys kind of saw the effects of was a few weeks back, we had to delay one of our teasers because Snoot was trying to take in-game footage.
That's what he was dealing with.
He was trying to take in-game footage for the teaser trailer, and the shadows were being a pain, and then he fixed that, and then it was just crashing non-stop, and we had other people help him, and it was a complete nightmare.
And then the teaser had to get delayed, and so in those cases, does it feel like it's worth it?
No, it feels awful, but...
long term we truly do believe that this is the right move uh yeah long term it will really pay off and so there may be growing pains there have been growing pains for us internally and there may be growing pains for you guys on the experimental launch of update 8 and we'll sort of just see what we can do from that point on but we think in the end right at the end of the day
It's gonna make for a better game, and that is what is most important, we feel.
