I understand that there might not be a release on console anytime soon, but is there any possibility that it might come to PS4 and Xbox?
Yeah, so obviously a question asked many times, and as you say there, you know that we've said that it's not gonna come anytime soon.
There's a decent chance.
that it might come to the consoles or even other platforms like Mac and Linux, even though Linux can kind of be supported anyway.
But it would definitely be cool.
There's just a few limitations or questions or things that need to sort of be answered as for how we would do it.
And it may be that it's not going to happen until like after 1.0, I imagine.
No one's told me this, but I kind of think so because...
Making a bunch of changes to the game to be supported on console is a lot of work and doesn't actually add to the game.
And let me just explain this.
We want to know what features we want to make and we want to know what balancing we need and we need to get story and we need to fix bugs and all of that stuff.
And that's very hard and takes a lot of our time.
But if we were to also do consoles,
That's going to take a lot of time from input, from just it working at all.
And then there's certification processes.
It takes a really long time.
And if we're dedicating a lot of resources to console, then that means we aren't dedicating a lot of resources to bug fixes, to features, to finishing the game.
So I don't think that's going to happen before 1.0.
But after that, it's absolutely a possibility.
There's no decision on that.
And you say PS4 and Xbox, but of course it might be PS5 or Xbox One Series X2 100.5.9.
I don't play Xbox.
I don't use it.
I'm a PS PlayStation boy.
