Last summer, when the return of the Sarajevo Six was announced, I said this:
And I got a bunch of responses and pushback about how it’s not the same thing and contract negotiations and blah blah blah. And I had said at the time that nothing was stopping IOI from being able to do those renegotiations. And now… well, here we are. And while I understand that there is a different mitigating factor that makes the likelihood of the Wild Card’s reappearance so close to non-existent that it can safely be accepted as an absolute certainty, so I’ll relax on that one. But I will absolutely take this moment to say: I told you all so.
Now that that is out of the way, I’m really excited about most of what we’re getting out of this. I’m primarily disappointed in three things:
-
New Arcade contract with the Undying, returning ETs line the Deceivers, but no new Arcade contracts that let us access some of the ETs locked behind restricted loadouts, like the Deceivers.
-
A purple duck? That’s what the Twitch drop is for? IOI, where are the other streak suits that you implied would be made available for all platforms? We got the purple and the Stadia, now time for the green/Xbox, blue/Playstation, and black/PC ones to open up for everybody.
-
Where are the damned Freelancer updates?!
Aside from that, definitely a good roadmap with stuff we didn’t see coming (but had dreamt about).
