And it looks like the project has made some incredible progress since then, judging by…
Gone but not forgotten. In case you hadn’t noticed, the world of physical video game retail – as in, games sold in boxes in brick-and-mortar stores – is on its knees at the moment, especially in the UK, where Time Extension is based.

Picture the scene: You’re scrolling away through rental property photos late at night, trying to sort through the ambitious photography and overly-cheery copy to find somewhere new to live. This one’s too small. This one’s too expensive. This one… this one looks pretty good, actually. I wonder if the bathroom’s a good size. Yep, full…

Overwatch‘s big Season 1 reimagining, dropping the infamous ‘2’ in its name, adding five new heroes, reworking maps, and overhauling its UI, has given it a new lease on life. So much so that it broke its all-time player count on Steam, a trend which no doubt rippled across other platforms, and it’s still holding…
