Babylon’s Fall is now being given away for free at some stores
Babylon’s Fall, the troubled Platinum and Square Enix RPG, is reportedly being given away for free at some GameStop stores.
As first noticed by @videogamedeals, the American chain of video game retailers is reportedly in the process of throwing away old stock of the game, which was pulled from sale earlier this month.

At one point, the game boasted a single concurrent player on Steam.
The game will officially end service in February 2023, at which point it will be completely unplayable.
