To all our beloved ballers,
It feels like just yesterday CBT1 wrapped up, but in that short time, we've been on an incredible journey with you. We've poured over every single piece of feedback from your surveys, watched countless hours of live streams and gameplay videos. Every thought, every critique, every dream you shared on the world chat and Discord? We took it all to heart, brought it into our development huddle, and meticulously went through each one.
