What’s the issue? If what it does is made explicitly clear, it serves effectively the same purpose as a website blocker to help people break bad habits with playing time.

Project+ is not an official Nintendo made product and promoting it to the public, such as in a tournament, falsely makes it seem like a Nintendo product.

That was your hypothetical, man

I accept that means that some creators are going to use those rights differently than I would (like in your ridiculous hypothetical of every IP owner in the world colluding to shut down AO3 by denying usage of their IP).

You seem to be confused with my acceptance that a creator has the right to do something with approval that they do it in any and all circumstances.

That company (which still includes many of the original Metroid developers) put forth the money, time, and effort to get it off the ground, and they should be able to reap the rewards for as long as they are willing to continue producing those games.

I totally love and respect fans for wanting to create in their favorite spaces, but I respect the creators to be the sole iterators of their work. Tolkien shouldn’t have had to worry about people releasing Lord of the Rings materials besides him.

Anything is better than another modern or near future setting.

You didn’t look very hard. From the youtube video description:

Their version of saving face isn’t the correct path to save face. That’s the notion I’m operating under.

Specifically with Diablo 2 you’ve got a couple of things converging. You’ve got nostalgia, and you’ve got an entire generation who’s been told ‘Diablo 2 was the peak’. It also doesn’t help that lots of people pre-ordered long before all this broke.

All this work to look worse instead of just firing the people that are responsible and restructuring their management.

Final Shape is more a reference to the light and darkness’s war than specifically the Hive. Light and Darkness have been doing the whole creation/destruction thing for longer than this universe ever existed. Everytime the Light tried something different, in the end it would coalesce into the same thing (the final…

I didn’t feel Lady Dimitrescu was going for “traditional” appeal, at least not in a modern meaning of hotness.

The “worst” (totally subjectively, hence the air quotes) thing with the Big Lady Marketing Scheme is largely it seems to be focused around ‘traditional hotness but make her twice (or more) as tall’.

On top of that, as I mentioned, why would the Hive God of War NOT follow the fleeing Cabal?

Remember the endgame plot of Forsaken? Savathun’s curse on the Dreaming City, to trap it in an endlessly repeating time loop?

Bravo

All I see in the article above is pissbabies crying and being performatively toxic for internet points while devs continue, inexplicably, to try.

I’ve only got one 300 turn game under my belt but...god I like it so much better than Civ. Everything, with a few small exceptions, just feels better. Managing cities, moving units, growing, expanding, advancing.
