All right, I am here with Joe Neat, the executive producer of Sea of Thieves at Rare, all the way across the pond in beautiful Great Britain.

Hello, Joe. Thank you so much for coming on the show.

Absolute pleasure to be here.

It is cool to see that you guys are continuing to support this game.

After launch, it is an interesting move are continuing to support this game after launch.

It is an interesting move for Rare to be working on a pirate game that just lives on forever and ever.

And I'm going to be talking to you about the development of the game and all sorts of other cool stuff.

So why don't we start by talking about your future roadmap?

Because I'm curious, I don't want to beg you for specific deals or anything like that but details or anything like that but I want to hear like

how far in advance are you guys planning stuff out and how much how often does does the

roadmap change for you guys yes so we launched sea thieves we got a lot of players in

it was pretty it was pretty crazy yeah yeah it was pretty crazy. You know, the first couple of weeks was intense.

Like, because we'd gone through all of our alphas and beaters and you run them for five days or three days,

and then you kind of turn them off and then you get back to just working on things.

Whereas at launch, it's like, okay, there's, there's no stop.

There's no end.

Right, it doesn't end.

This is the new normal, which was like, I kind of knew it was coming, but it just

it changed everything.

But one of the things was also, we sat down and looked at feedback from across our players

because a lot of people played, a lot of people had an opinion, i'm sure you saw um and uh you know the the broad consensus was this is really fun like we want

more things to do more stuff right and that's like okay cool because we were planning to do that
