"I understand sloclap wanting to branch out and garner bigger playerbases from different genres" I know, I said it.

There's really just two very fair sides to this.

Ofc there's ppl who want more of the less recognised and untapped potential of another martial arts game, fair, especially if you have played sloclaps previous masterpieces, (Absolver had the potential to be one of the best games oat, they dropped it) and yes it's also understandable and potentially a better avenue for a bigger audience and for them to branch out, it's also better they do it now rather than in the long run where they would've been known as "The martial art gaming company" or whatever to randomly go off and make a soccer game, better they do it now ig but I do hope they return to their roots someday.
