We will explain as many of these topics as we can in the Q&A that is currently scheduled for later this week. However, one thing that the Q&A doesn't address is how we got here. Chris wanted to personally post an explanation of what has been going on behind the scenes at Grinding Gear Games that led to this state. Read More.
