It's the news that nobody wanted to hear. Owlcat Games, the studio behind the likes of Pathfinder, Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, and forthcoming CRPGs The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy, is launching its own, um, launcher. As one of the standard bearers for classic turn-based gameplay over the past decade, it's great to see it get more widespread recognition for its work in the genre. However, to paraphrase Uncle Ben, with increased popularity comes great responsibility, and Owlcat has decided to wield that responsibility irresponsibly.
