The new officially sanctioned game, thrown roughly together by two coders in six weeks, still outsells it. And EA really only have themselves to blame.…

The team at Microsoft has now expanded this experience for the first time with a brand new world called BuildAbility, which is focused on identifying and elimination accessibility barriers.

While I think that's probably off the table - pun intended - there is a lot to love about Dice Legacy on PC and Nintendo Switch.
