Not really news. BR is the #1 priority for them, everything else is secondary.
Is it shitty? Yes
Will it give them any problems? Hell no.
As long as BR runs, no one even cares about StF. If it didn't cost money, more would play and more would care. As is, this is just their standard practice.
So don't worry, they will give you some Llamas and think that will make up for all the lost progress, research, and the inability...
This looks great. Since they screwed Obsidian out of money with New Vegas, and then all of us with 76, I hope Obsidian has a new hit franchise on their hands that can take on Fallout.
Outstanding game. Best Star Fox game I have ever played, even better than 64. Hopefully they get to make the next Star Fox game, because Nintendo doesn't know what to do with Fox lately.
