Je vous donne RDV à 15h pour un stream d'Expédition 33 ! J'ai enfin la possibilité de vous parler et de vous montrer le jeu grâce à cette version preview d'environ 3h. Je dis enfin car il s'agit d'un jeu pour lequel j'ai été consulté et qui j'espère va trouver son public :)
J'ai joué à Expédition 33, je peux ENFIN vous en parler... et vous le montrer ! RDV à 15h.

I finally took time to read M.Ball behemoth state of game market. His reports are divisive, but one can certainly appreciate the amount of work it took and conciseness & charts for busy people. No big reveal, as he outlines trends that have been brewing for around 2 years.
