My major concern about this is not that fan works are illegitimate, but they opposite—they ARE legitimate. They are a tribute to or a reinterpretation of the original author’s work. Often, they can be successfully used to target, re-write or remove some of the really shitty stuff in the original (like the racism of…

Well, we found the Incel hot-take.

Yeah I said that in another comment. At the moment I’m just viewing it as a donation. Which is cool. Not exactly what I thought I was getting but that’s ok. Would be great if something was done in the future to make it easier but either way it is a good cause so not a big deal.

NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING THAT

All of this.

Yeah, Blizzard used to be all about that mature Art, none of this PG-13 blockbuster edginess! I remember when I first started up Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - it was so Mature my beard grew an inch. And I hadn’t even hit puberty yet!

The fact isn’t ignored. We just don’t have a problem with that fact. Publishers/Developers must run their business in the best way they can in order to maintain profitability. They bare all the risk, and therefore are responsible to make the best decisions they can for their business.

I am fine with a…

They are already the market leader and the majority of consumers already prefer to buy their games on Steam.

Let’s be real here, Gamers were never actually concerned about “exclusivity” because none of them mind the fact that pretty much every single place you buy a game from only gives you a Steam key, thus forcing you into the Steam ecosystem whether you want it or not. So unless the game is on Origin/Bethesda/GoG or…

Heh, yeah Sonic’s windshield mono-eye never really made a ton of sense. I made a version of him inspired by Mickey Mouse, and it works a little better there. I kind of hope the final version for the movie ditches the giant goggle eyeball. 

The original design is so bad that professional animators and 3D designers are providing revised versions for free!

I read that Sega didn’t have any involvement with the movie other than licensing the Sonic characters.  Sega really should have more direct involvement with their licensing efforts.

It’s amazing how little I am surprised that you also hate Last Jedi at the end of that incredibly dumb rant.

It’s a sad state of affairs when paying for a thing you want is seen as a “compromise” akin to giving in to torture. It would be like, I don’t know, complaining endlessly about the ads on a free web site and then being outraged when they don’t have the budget to give you more free content.

What the hell does any of this tired-ass shit have to do with Star Trek? Can’t we have a single thread about a Picard TV show without someone trotting out some two year old “hurf durf shoulda campaigned in Wisconsin” routine?

Ah yes, the classic Voyager problem.

Yeah it’s kind of ridiculous to hear that advice coming from someone who “made it” by showing up in Japan with several million euros.

Complementing:

who would have thought that the Assassin’s Creed franchise would be breaking new ground by just not releasing games?

Do you know what’ worse than typing bad comments?

That is actually untrue. You can pick what the mystery mushroom is when doing level designs without using an amiibo. Simply place the mushroom in the world (not in a block) and then tap the mushroom. You can then select what costume you want it to do and then place it in the blocks desired. It took me a while to…
