What are the chances that this is dead within a year?
I'll take this bet. Feel bad for all the dev's being told to work on live service titles - all that time and energy poured into something that will be shut down within a year, never to be experienced by a gamer again. I'm predicting Foamstars will be over by summer.
How does that man breath?
I assume PC release must mean EGS release?
More likely a Ubisoft store exclusive.
Edit - Yep, its a Ubisoft Connect exclusive. So no Steam or EGS.
Ubisoft Connect? Sheesh, gonna be a low player count on PC platforms
I'll check it out at release.
I wouldn't bother, played the beta on PS5. it was boring.
