In an interview with GamesRadar, Babieno emphasized the studio's appreciation for physical media and collectibles, noting that while graphical advancements have reached a plateau, other senses can enhance the gaming experience. He stated that the majority of players are still using hardware five to seven years old, suggesting that physical games retain emotional value for players. Babieno and Broken Mirror Games' executive director, Tymon Smektala, both expressed a desire to continue supporting physical releases, despite Sony's planned discontinuation of disc-based PlayStation games in 2028.",
