Good riddance I say; game looked uninspired as hell and the last thing we need is more GaaS shit.

I don't understand. It's pretty clear that GaaS is a failure, and gamers are avoiding it more and more.

Not heard of it. Will it launch with Stadia? Google is about to own gaming.

There's lessons to be learned here, but who are we kidding, the industry won't learn them and will continue chasing the GaaS dragon, shutting down studios and laying off devs as it goes.
