So I have to get a Ubisoft+ subscription to play the South Park game on my Game Pass Ultimate subscription? That is some Inception bullshit!

@ozone.birb.house hey gamedev, game business here! Thanks for verifying.

In this weird place where the game is shaping up nice and we are working on the announcement, but you can’t show anyone yet.
Equally frustrating because the game feels good and you want to shout it from the roof, and terrifying because you don’t know until you show the world… Its good right? Right?
