Well I’m sure if esports ever came to the olympics they would get that all figured out, right?

Well... they can be banned by Olympic officials for one. :P Anything that would warrant Blizzard to ban their OW account would be enough to get them banned from the Olympics anyway, so the distinction seems moot.

I... gotta admit I don’t really get what you’re saying here.

I see what you’re saying, but it is only partially true I think. First person shooter skills for example tend to carry over really well between games. You can simply be a skilled general FPS gamer all your life, then get into a new shooter only a short time before an event and do well in it.

Of course they wouldn’t allow copyright infringing fangames on their console, because they’re infringing copyright, and this isn’t. What is your point?

Are you serious? There are tons of indie games not on Nintendo systems that are basically Smash. Literally the only reason Nintendo will CnD is if someone literally uses their IP. Show me one case where Nintendo have ever gone after a project simply for having similar gameplay.

They changed it because it was literally a copy-over of the WM pose and not ever intended to make it into the base game.

Have you read the fine print on the back?

You said the same thing in that other thread up there. What on earth made you come to that conclusion?

And yet people do it and are successful with it! That’s what a game developer is. You create, you put the effort in.

Sounds like you don’t disagree in principle. Ripping off an existing IP got him an instant audience.

Hahaha why do you THINK they reused Pokemon assets? Because it’s easier for a lazy scummy fuck who wants to expend no creative effort of his own.

Considering the responses I’ve received I hardly believe that little off-hand comment is the “whole reason” anyone got offended. If it was for you though, well... jeez.

You actually did it. Love it.

Hah! You overestimate my investment in this. Not worth the effort. If you want to consider that a win, go for it. :)

My jokes are the best jokes.

It’s funny how you spend so many words trying to argue me into oblivion yet you can’t even get the basics right. Even that bit you quoted doesn’t say it was literally the only consideration, nor was it meant to. You’re trying, again, to argue for argument’s sake, except the main point you based your entire post on has…

So you don’t deal well with yourself then?

That screenshot is frightening. It’s like human eyes grafted onto a dummy.

Hey, it’s you again! As always, you need to work on your reading. Scan all of my comments and you won’t find me saying anywhere that it was the only reason and nothing else. Just that the free fanbase and publicity are a major, major advantage in hiring this guy, and to think that this was not a significant…
