Hard to be a fan when prices are blowing out of control. Definitely not a steady PWM slope to deal with :/

I'm on Android but I'd pay credits for seeing a slidy thing with confetti and a big blue butterfly fly across the screen as like an open secret expo Easter egg
V curious to see how the server browser changes will affect the game long-term. (to be fair lass battlefield I played was 3 :)

"It looks like you're trying to run Windows. I don't know how but I can search the web for it" - Siri before they were renditioned by 'Apple Intelligence'
