Welp there goes thinking a patch was gonna come for this :/

[Kaisha]

Well I was kinda waiting for this, but now I'm wondering how much of the playerbase has ditched BB already for Xrd.

[Krandor]

BB has enough of its own player base at this point, but for serious competitive play only one will likely survive.

Extend's Anime OP

[Petitssk]

Christ, Continuum Shift Extend got a Steam release? Guess I can finally play it, though it's not for Europe. Can games from other regions still be gifted if they're not for sale in my region?

[Callisto]

I don't believe it's region-locked in terms of security as long as you can download it. fwiw, CSE was probably the single worst version of BB in terms of balance and speed :/
