(5:43) Topic (Part 1): Has the open-world design become a crutch used to increase game length without adding actual depth or character?

(9:42) Sub-Topic: Do we think the change in our preferred open world game types is partially due to the decline in quality?

(40:11) Topic (Part 2): Are linear, tighter paced, 10-hour games the ultimate form compared to 50-100 hour sandboxes that populate the world with "filler?"

(3:50) Topic: Is charging $40–$70 upfront for a multiplayer-only game basically a death sentence in today’s gaming market? Should multiplayer-focused games just launch free-to-play and make their money through battle passes, cosmetics, and other optional content or do you think there’s still a place for the traditional pay-to-play multiplayer model?
