Comment
Firefall’s first public beta weekend is nighRed 5 Studios ran three Firefall event weekends at the tail end of last year, but despite regular flurries of beta keys, a street survey I conducted this afternoon outside my South Yorkshire home turned up not one visitor to Copacabana’s bitey shores.
