User blog comment:Zaptroxix/Is Infinity a response from the HD petition ?/@comment-9984046-20131002003304

If this was genuinely a response to the HD Ace Combat collection, then where is it? Why are we getting a F2P game that's a mega crossover of every Ace Combat game known to mankind save for Advance instead of said HD collection?

Because it's not a response to the petition. This is Namco tapping in to a market that makes money so they can keep the Ace Combat series afloat. Granted, they have three cash cows, but if Kono really said that the series' future rests on Infinity, then we'd better pray this game succeeds.
