That would mean you would get both sharp takes and both lock if you have sharp/lock takeovers

100% this. And if you think 2K wouldn't do this because they would lose money, this definitely makes them more money, if everything else stays the same, we would still have to spend VC to upgrade to 99. But the huge time saving will lead to many more builds made.
