Never heard of it, shit like this is just more reasons to avoid live service games. Certainly don't spend money on them as it's likely to disappear sometime.

Apparently there was a "big" announcement at the VGAs? I don't watch those, nor do I watch ads much at all, so I had no idea about this other than the posts/articles complaining about the fact they had an announcement at the VGAs

I mainly hear about games through Gaming on Linux or recommendations from others, works as a pretty good way to filter out the shit.

It was free! They wanted to shadow drop it and… magically recreate the multi-million dollar advertising campaign that was Apex Legends

I don't find free/very cheap live service games to be quite so bad if its fun to play without spending much/anything. But the knowledge that it will disappear at some point is still a negative.
