Okay, fine. Skull and Bones isn’t great at being on time. It clearly didn’t make its planned March 9 date — that’s why we’re now working with February 13 at the very earliest. But, think of it this way: Skull and Bones is willing to meet you just in time for Valentine’s Day!

People can change, and I like to think the same logic applies to multiplayer games with controllable, customizable ships and quests set in tranquil, pre-smallpox vaccine waters.
