Actually, I believe I did see that question in Spectrum, was it? I believe so. That is a super good question. Currently, we perceive the idea of using the item kiosk as actually going to the physical object. It would be, in my opinion, super interesting to actually have some kind of way to switch it up instead of going actually to the item kiosk, like having the concept of a digital app. That would be, at least to me, it seems like super cool, but currently, we have the idea of going to the item kiosk and doing all of the purchases there like you would do in real life, right? Some places even have like four or five tablets that people go to. Sometimes they need to queue to use the tablets. That's just reality as we see it now.

So ultimately, to follow up on that question, it's actually a design question. I was asking Hugo to see if he was aware of any conversations. I don't want to rule anything out, guys. I don't want to commit to it that, yes, you'll be able to do it, or no, you won't be able to do it. I can tell you just from almost four years of talking with game designers here, these systems, the kiosks, the physical locations, unlike the real world where it's perfectly normal to just sit at home and order everything, in a video game, you want as many things to drive people to different locations as possible. Because there's going to be people, I can already see it in the chat, saying you can do that today, why wouldn't you be able to do it 930 years in the future? And that's one of those things where you take it to the point of realism and then you have to bring it back to the point of video game and making a video game work. So we're not going to say you can do it, we're not going to say you can't do it. It's a design question; neither one of us are designers at the moment, but it's definitely a conversation I think is worth having. So I expect there to be a thread either on Spectrum or on Reddit or both, and when you guys have that conversation, remember that we'll be watching.
