Preservation Concerns
Account-bound digital holdings face platform dependency. Online features and patch revision risk remain principal concerns. No offline installer is held.
Edition History
Steam release dated July 9, 2026. Live updates revise the licensed client in place; this accession records the account-bound digital edition in custody.
