Pete said, I don’t have any doubts that on the whole, and I think this is a belief universally shared on the team that Fallout is a better game. But we’re also not oblivious to the fact that we have a lot of extra baggage that we’re carrying, being the guys picking up this franchise, that are re-imagining this series from 10 years ago, and there’s something that comes along with that. We’re very well aware of what we’re up against.
