The 2XKusO crew is probably taking so long to just finish the game proper because in their minds they want to have it out to where it can be let out into the wild as a F2P model.
What they FAIL to realize is the F2P model works with popular genre games with actual player bases like fps. and let's not forget that the discussion surrounding the game from outside the fgc community is all but dead and bunk that not even LoL players themselves give 2 shits about 2XKusO.
So right off the bat this game is going to be facing problems if they're going to do the F2P model.

They might need to wise up to either cut their losses and cancel the game or just straight up go full coomer mode like SFV did and give the people yordles in slingshot bikinis.
You think I joke but look at the competition they are going to be faced with if they take too long to release it.
I know these losers are from California meaning they "have faith" that they don't have to resort to that sort of marketing and that people will buy their costumes or whatever but It's do or die time now for the 2XKusO crew
