there's no longer the same static game for everyone else the way people now build games is so different that it's more tailored and more specialized right I can't and exciting to see how people continue to tailor those user acquisition campaigns now for a game that's no longer just the same yeah yeah I agree with that I think that speaks a lot to where we want to go basically we want to be like the e-trade for you a user acquisition because we feel like you don't have to worry about the noise you can abstract some of that there's some nuances that most beginners and you a can delve into with the right tools and having something that's easy to use it's easy to get into Halden and then pick up the concepts as you go along will be very powerful awesome all right thanks guys thanks thanks for having drinks with some games daily connect books and Jeff who are you
