Why not companion on ps app?

I really wish Team17 would do something other than Worms. As much as I’ve loved it in the past, it’s getting a bit much now.
Oh and it’s £35! Not quite as outrageous as Angry Birds but still grossly overpriced IMHO.

£35 does seem far too much, will have to read/hear more before purchasing. If I do, at the price, may as well go boxed (Unless it’s a code in a box).
Lieutenant Fatman
Nice to see they’ve started with a solid 65 weapons this gen, rather than the bare minimum. But yeah £35 is indeed silly. Will probably pick it up in the inevitable mega sale in the next couple of years. About £5 works for me.
Erroneus
The worst thing about it, is that they priced it 25$ for digitial in US. That’s around 15£, which means it’s 135% more expensive in UK & way more then double. It’s also more then double, if comparing with the Euro price. What the hell Team17!
For their sake, they better announce a much lover digital price soon.
