We are developing a certain number of games that are going to take advantage of these new possibilities,"Guillemot said.What we are doing is working on the different brands we have to see how we can take advantage of these new possibilities, while making sure we also don’t suffer from what comes with it, which is the difficulty to play a long time with those sorts of games.”
