I never said I was a copyright attorney; are you illiterate?*

I think they mean a filter, because in the vanilla game there is definitely a large symbol telling you which aid items cure which afflictions, in addition to the text (and your afflictions are always clearly noted with the same symbols whenever you open the aid menu).

You just need one bar, but it’ll take longer to kick in. 

I’m an attorney who’s successfully litigated a few dozen copyright cases; I also have an MBA, but I tend to leave that off my resume.

Market cap is not a useful metric here (it doesn’t mean much other than setting a floor for an acquisition) but they only have about 1.5b COH and over 2b in debt, against average annual net income that hovers around 100m*. There’s definitely no way they would even entertain this idea.

BOTW throws so many weapons at you that my inventory was constantly overflowing with them, despite the fact that I broke them with abandon. “Farming” is such a wild misnomer that I have to assume they don’t actually know what that terms means, or they were playing a very different game.

Lucas spent most of Empire’s production collaborating with Spielberg on Raiders, so the movie was built by Irving Kirshner and Lawrence Kasdan, using a first draft from Leigh Brackett.
