@horati0nosebl0wer I’ll swing from the chandeliers when I want to  :p
It is kind of weird to see GW make a new Bloodbowl game again.
At best I was expecting them to just make a new production run, but new starter teams ?
And those haloween themed undead ?
Why can’t they update the bloody orks (and all the other non-spacemarine factions) in 40k instead ?

oh … and speaking of 40k
They finally fixed the pop-up that kept me from ‘enjoying’ the app.
And I can not believe that this thing passed even basic UI testing.
You’d think that the flockin’ core rules would be an integral part of the app, but instead they really do link to Google drive document … which is stupid as f*ck on a mobile device that isn’t an A4 sized tablet.
And it is pretty stupid given even with a proper sized screen it lacks all the basic quality of life features that make electronic books ‘better’ than hardcopy.

The app doesn’t even allow you basic access to troop profiles like the AoS app does.

And because they want to sell you the subscription … they chose to make the ‘subscribe & unlock app’ buttons actual big buttons, but the ‘skip this nonsense give me the free stuff’ button is a hyperlink.
ie : the thing is invisible …
OTOH … given the fact that the app is basically useless that kind of makes a weird kind of sense.

Did I mention that there currently is no way to unlock codexes ?
Or that the army builder is  “coming soon(tm)” … (another sign the app was released before it was done)

If it wasn’t for the copyright restrictions and the fact that it would be impossible to keep an unofficial app up-to-date I’d be making one myself. However given that I don’t quite grok the rules for listbuilding I can’t do that.
(I wonder if the dev team responsible for the army builder is having similar issues … it would explain a lot)

I mean seriously … post launch updates that basically turn a bunch of data into a semi-functioning app kind of prove that it didn’t work when it was launched. It might explain why they did not launch on the Apple App-store.
