These guilds will have these gluts of in game assets, how do they pivot in your view? 16:04 - And what about the skill level for a player in Illuvium, are these illuvials going to be hard to catch to varying degrees? 17:18 - On something like E Sports, what are your predictions around the legacy gaming industry entering the Blockchain space, you guys obviously have first movers advantage, but you have to expect that they're at least going to attempt to integrate. Or do you think its a ‘we own our patch and we’re going to stick to it’ mentality? 19:55 - Broadening the scope a little bit, what is the bull case for the metaverse more generally in your view? 25:06 - Bring me up to speed on the timeline for Illuvium at the moment. You guys are about to launch a private beta? and what does it look like for the next two quarters after that? 27:40 - Do you feel like this is the perfect synergy of everything that you actually need to create a AAA game, or are there four competing interests as far as these timelines go that you’re trying to get out? 29:49 - If I want to join the community or follow along to get in at the ground floor, what is the best way?
