Besides an EMP potentially disabling it, any consideration or discussion about simply turning off the audio simulation willingly, so that people can play in eerie, spooky hard mode?

Yeah, I think that'd be an amazing thing to do as well. And I think maybe we can offer, again, it's a gameplay question, but there could be some penalty for having your audio simulation switched on. It could be you may light up somebody's radar if you have this thing switched on. So if you want to be stealthy, you've got to accept no sounds or something like that. I think that'd be really cool.
