Episode 10   So much (or so little?) has happened since this game came out. We have developed a love/hate relationship with the game, the designers and the developers.   The community had - and still has - a lot of questions regarding this game. How were decisions made regarding mechanics, revenue... and what does the future hold?   We figured - why not give it a shot and ask those involved directly?   Follow and review us on all major podcast platforms!
