No, no. information technology'south usually been one of a technical… hardware issue. It'due south but, what it is that the devs are making and what are the hardware requirements that they're looking at, to back up what they're making? And what fits? And anything that is beneath the line is, 'Well, we tin can brand information technology work, simply nosotros'd have to cutting this or that or do information technology similar…' But no, that's not the signal.

Perhaps information technology's not as appealing equally Super Boom Bros., or information technology doesn't appeal to that exact same audience, only that doesn't mean that in that location'due south not all the same an audience there."
