Just finished the ViDoc.
We've got a compass but not a map.
Everyone knows pirates and the kind of mischief pirates get up to.
Like going to the pub, you have that kind of fun joking around.
Then heading to a theme park drunk together with your mates.
Yeah, and it wouldn't affect your ability to play the game, it would probably enhance it.
Oh yes, that is very much Sea of Thieves and its wonkiness we love.

Also how did that live stream dev not end up with a pirate name of "Monkey Business"?
Much love for the stealth drop of Pirates of the Caribbean crossover including Jack Sparrow and Davey Jones. A beautiful father, son and family story out of this video. As I have grown from a child loving games decades ago to now a father of a gaming family this is gaming to me. Sharing the fun, failures and successes while having something to step into together outside of our daily lives. You gorgeous game studio Rare, cheers to your next SoT update and game IPs coming. I and my family will be waiting.
There is a real concept conveyed towards the end of the ViDoc around meeting fans at events and not just online. Things like inviting them to the studio, having them in the audience, mixing it up at E3/shows and more need to be cared for and held up high without the corporate profit by the numbers approach. Watching this ViDoc it is very prevalent how intrinsically necessary developers are with their audiences and how games are shapeshifted during prototyping and development, pre and post launch.
