Pippon@gc 1: get an xbox gamespass subif you havent. 2: Wait for realse date: itll be part of the sub. save 45 odd quid.
Only downside: No crossplay between steam and Xbox gamespass accounts (perhaps ever)
@Pipponprops Not a bad idea, I think I still have a 30-day code for that somewhere. :3c Though, no crossplay with Steam would suck.
@gc it indeed DOES suck. Fatshark have said they would LIKE crossplay but guaranteed it wont ship with it, and historically they have a rep for not fulfilling on promises ive read
@gc Basics i myself am waiting on the gamespass version. But i get some folks on the liverpool discord already have it on steam, so :)
@Pipponprops HMMM. Well, I guess I'll see when it happens. >.> I'm mostly, MOSTLY past my era of pre-ordering or buying early access games on a whim and then regretting it.

@gc Im not sure if FAT are doing a wipe of accounts before release or no, but presuming they dont, all youre missing is that most folk will have potentially spoiled the appearance unlock progression for you by the 30th.
@Pipponprops Oh, I'm not fussed about that. :3
