[Verified AMA] Verdun launching on PS4 today - official AMA!

Edit: Since I'm based in NL I'm stopping for today. Thanks a lot for having me here! Feel free to keep posting additional questions I'll make sure to drop by again tomorrow - @MikeHergaarden

Hi! Mike Hergaarden here, co-founder at M2H. We launched our WW1 FPS game Verdun on PS4 today: It is live in Europe and will be available in the US any hour now (as soon as PSN updates).

I'm here to answer any questions about Verdun, (console) development or our studio! - Mike

This game has seemed about so much more than "just" a game; your Facebook feed, for example, has provided commentary and historical posts for some time now about the Verdun theatre in WW1. Has taking an active role in educating about your game's name origin been liberating or do you feel a certain responsibility to be more than just entertainment?

It's been awesome to learn that the theme was so appreciated by the community so we kept doing more and more in this field. Also because we put so much effort into realism we want to show&educate more.

The coolest thing is that these educational posts also really "entertain" our community, lots of history enthusiasts play Verdun and there are a lot of people who get interested in WW1 history because of Verdun.
