> take off 1-2 years because covid years were hardly productive in the gaming industry in Japan.

WE can't quantify that in truth. I happen to work in the gaming industry and we managed to maintain our release schedules during Covid. If your boss asked you "were you hardly productive during covid?" and you said yes then lord help me if you still have a job.l

Covid sucked, yes I agree. but it wasn't a free pass to just be a piece of shit company for 2 years where the digital of things became that much more hyper competitive.
