Not gonna lie, these changes are kinda lame? Like I fully support their decision to clean up old card art and remove as much blood and sexiness as they want but some of the end products are still kinda uninspiring.

But Hearthstone is a highly commercial IP with a highly commercial art direction, mass market appeal is the primary goal to begin with. Responding to external requirements isn't a hindrance to the job, it's THE job.

The game is just the plastic hammer and helmet fight but with the entire roster.

The Arcsys games are known for handling completely OP characters, they can’t be knocked out, they can only be knocked down and they’ll just chill non-chalantly on the floor and watch their opponent claim a “victory”.

I appreciate context and all but games are generally designed to be experienced as a standalone entity, players are gonna play the game and judge it based on the text of the game.

I don’t want to give Blizzard cultural diversity points when their designs are bundles of stereotypes and they refuse to expand their character lores.

Most of the gaming industry (and tech, and a lot of professions really) has problems with sexism, it’s good to be aware of it and call it out and try to fix it but we’re not going to cancel half the industry over it. Problems aren’t solved by trying to take down entire companies.

You gotta eat their heart to gain their courage, their rich, tasty courage.

I am learning so much about all these lady generals today. For the purpose of presenting historical accuracy, the decision to include female generals at a probably inflated-from-reality percentage rate is doing a great job at getting me to actually learn some history.

The "ship" in the video is extremely weak. She friend zones the guy hard, the guy can't deal with her junk food habits, she's extremely resistant to his advice and help, they seem to have clashing opinions on D.Va's celebrity status.
