It took two sad, frustrating years for word of this gem to reach me through the grapevine of the online gaming community, but when I played it and reviewed it in 2010, “Valkyria Chronicles” single-handedly justified my ownership of a PlayStation 3… but then it was ported to Steam in 2014.
Imagine my dismay, then, when …
