Why does the headline say they were told to “shut down” when that wasn’t the case? There’s a pretty big difference between saying “remove our trademarks” and saying “shut down entirely,” particularly when this person is now profiting off of those trademarks.

I just assume she meant:

Given how hell-bent some game creators are about putting stories in their games that turn out to be bad, I can live with one who, at worst, sometimes erred in the other direction.

I disagree.

I’d say yes, especially if you look at some of the mods out there. They have mods that set up the Falcon 9 landing scenarios, as well as a few mods that set the things up to be more realistic and closer to our solar system, so calculations would actually make sense. that said I haven’t looked into any of them very…

I get that money and popularity are the main measurements of success in the console business, but I'd like to think it's the more abstract things that really define a console's legacy.
