00:00I feel incredibly humbled and honored by how much the player community has embraced our game.
00:08It is something that still, to my mind, doesn't make sense, that doesn't seem real.
00:14And especially when players share their experiences with the story and how the characters resonate for them,
00:23how some of the themes, some of the journeys that the characters go on, how that feels to them,
00:30and how it has, in fact, helped them, that is an incredible honor.
00:34And that, to me, speaks to the power of video games.
00:38Right now, when we're looking at what's going on in the industry, when we see the layoffs,
00:43when we see the volatility across different studios and the games that are being pursued and that uncertainty,
00:50it's sometimes it feels a little bit depressing and hopeless.
00:54And I have to balance that by seeing the positive impact of what our games and our stories can do.
01:01That's what I'm hoping for, for the industry.
01:04I'm hoping things will stabilize and these amazing, wonderful artists can return to creating beautiful art.
