Cmon, really? They just didn't do all that stuff you asked because it'd be a herculean feat to just let every player at every level and every equipment state start there and have anything even remotely reflecting a balanced experience for everyone.

If a fan game gets a C&D couldn’t they just remove the branding and continue?

But since he made it to basically run on a N64 (WHY?!)

“It’s like No Man’s Sky”

No Man’s Sky has both ground vehicles and even at launch allowed you to fly your ship around intra-atmosphere.

So, no, not actually like No Man’s Sky, then.

If you think nude mods are significant enough to require serious introspection, you must live a blessedly simple existence 

I’ll always use Waze over Google Maps anyway - never even heard any of the stuff you’re complaining about.

I like how your second sentence immediately contradicts your first

Do you think commas and apostrophes are woke too? And proper syntax? And not saying stupid things?

I mean, the whole thing is pretty subjective. Personally, 2023 is absolutely loaded for me. There are just a ton of games I’m interested. Far more than last year.

No, gaslighting based on the score would be if the game told the player all racers were weighted the same, and that the player must be imaging that they’re being penalized for being a certain character.
