    Great job, Rare! You did an absolutely fantastic job on Sea of Thieves! Stay on track, keep to the games' roots and don't get sidelined!

    I gotta say... the sheer originalness (is that a word?) of the game is what really keeps me playing. I've played nothing like SoT and I know it's only going to get better from here.

    Can't wait for what's to come!
