*2026-07-28, version 1.2.99*

Absolutely pathetic that the devs have Sunk so low to put this on Netflix which is already garbage the people who made this game are the same people who made faster than light also one of my favorite games ever made. Not in a million years would I have thought the developers would’ve made such a highly ignorant decision i’m honestly left without words. they could’ve made the game $10 easily. it’s a masterpiece but now we got to sign into Netflix to play it. I’ve lost all respect for the ignorant developers this is pathetic and embarrassing.
