Darn trees! They just love being the centre of attention! 🌳 Think you can crack the last two bits of this code? Drop a guess in the comments and you could be the lucky one to get a Steam key for early access to the Time Trial alpha playtest for Super Yooka-Laylee Kart!

Great reporting, as always. If the goal is to sell subscriptions, you do exactly what Xbox did with Game Pass. Problem is, outside of the enthusiast core, few cared. The mass market didn't want to play lots of different games. It wanted to play Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox.
