Summerfall Studios co-founders David Gaider and Liam Esler took to Twitter to announce that they're moving their upcoming crowdfunding campaign from Kickstarter to Fig following an apparent anti-union stance that has developed at Kickstarter.

However, the update made clear that the genetically engineered gear would add missions and gameplay elements. Not wanting to lock players out of the additional content, Snapshot explained that the packs would be available 3 months after the base game launches as DLC."
