So the idea that we had was to take the older game that we had done like nine years ago, “Quake III: Arena,” and do some slight modernization of it but re-target it so that it could run inside the web browsing environment. And you don’t have to run it there. A lot of people will go ahead and run it full screen. But the game is still inside a website rather than just being a game that’s stand-alone by itself. And we added all of these kind of social networking, ranked gameplay-type things so that people go in and the experience that they’ve got is very much a web-centric experience that has core elements of it being this game.
