Expect it somewhere middle/end next week.

L-O-L. I can't share this for...obvious reasons...but well done, sir ; )
This is AMAZING! Its a credit to a lot of insanely talented people who have worked on and supported the game over the last ~8 years, but as a lot of you know our team size is pretty small - we don't have some enormous creative media team, or CG animations team, or million dollar budgets for live-action or anything like that. Near 100% of our video content is real gameplay generated by real players on live environments (many of you have even joined us to help record trailer footage, for which we're eternally grateful!). So thank you ALL for helping us get here!
Its a financial technicality that selling a virtual currency creates a liability the bean counters want us to believe is important, in reality RPG will bank what they get from coin sales immediately and can use it whenever they want leaving the liability as a paper credit that they can devalue on a whim as there is no way to cash it out and the exchange rate is entirely controlled by them.
So tldr, yes its good that you spend it, but if you want to support RPG dont worry about the accounting, just buy the coins and spend them whenever you want.
^This. I'd add that you also support our team just by playing the game - our player count (user base) is just as important a metric to the health and success of the game as revenue.
tl;dr as long as players are playing and having fun, PS2 will be alive and well :)
Read moreHey Reddit!
I know charity posts and requests are often unwelcomed and unsightly, but I thought it would be great to highlight Rogue Planet Games effort to raise $20,000 for sick and injured children with Extra Life.
Rogue Planet Games will also be doing a special live stream on the week leading up to Extra Life's Game Day on Saturday November 7th. There will also be events and giveaways as well as prizes for the entire community if we're able to reach the goal!
Even without the above, it's definitely a worthy cause and I hope that despite the recent unrest in the community we'll be able to come together as we did for the Escalation update and show what we're capable of as one united team <3

Thanks for taking the time to read this if ...
Appreciate you doing this, my dude. We still have some folks around (including me) from the last time we had an Extra Life team a few years ago, before the new studio, and we were actually the #1 fundraising team in all San Diego, and the #1 game studio in Southern California (not the biggest region around but includes some pretty gd huge studios in Orange County/LA who i won't name *cough* Blizzard & Riot *cough*). So it's a point of pride for us, along with being an awesome cause that everyone can get down with. The PS2 community was a HUGE help then, so it'll be awesome to get back at it with ya'll on the team!
We're still working on some of the prizes, but rest assured the Game Day stream in November will be pretty special. We'll have individual prizes but mostly we're leaning towards community incentives - rewards for everybody if we meet our goals. Looking forward to sharing more soon!
