The worried vendor also asked if prices might go 'back up' in the future


In the summer of last year, during Day of the Devs, immersive sim legend Warren Spector said that at his studio OtherSide Entertainment, "we don't play it safe. We take chances." He was talking about his upcoming game Thick as Thieves, a multiplayer immersive sim that's basically Thief, except other people are trying to pull off the same heist as you on the same map, with all of you racing to get the loot first. Except it's not going to be that game anymore.
"The year is 2009," opens the 1.0 launch trailer for Xenonauts 2, a sentence that tickles me greatly considering the game's alternate future vibes. It presents a vision of the world that differed greatly from my actual experience of worrying about swine flu and whether or not Yu-Gi-Oh! was cool any more. And yet that is the reality of the turn-based tactics game, which exits out of early access almost three years after its initial release.
