If you were forced to upload ID for age verification, protect yourself accordingly. If not, *don't*, and change/remove your info if possible.

I've been working on Return to Subcon 2: The Nova Project for about 8 years now. It's finally "done". That is - all levels constructed, decorated, playtested, revised, and tested again.

Part of this is a real lack of centralized information about everything happening in those enclosed ecosystems, and I'm not sure what that would even look like or who would use it.

A discord bot maybe that reposted announcements which servers could subscribe to, maybe?

I will only do EA for Supergiant, and they've earned it and then some.
