“There’s no such thing as ‘remote’ school. That’s not a thing,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told Newsweek on Wednesday. “It’s not something teachers can pivot to when they choose to.” At least 3,461 schools were not offering in-person instruction on Wednesday, according to Burbio’s school opening tracker.

Players are limited to creating human characters, but this ties into the game’s lore. But additionally, the game will only feature two body types at launch, which will may be poorly received by players. It’s worth keeping in mind, however, that Palia is still very far off.
