6 months ago@SorteKanin @thirdBreakfast I guess Amazon and iTunes would be the closest thing, but rights expire for TV shows and movies far more often than they do for games. It’s insane that there are shows from 10 years ago that aren’t legally accessible or are straight-up lost media because the rights expired.
@nanoUFO This situation was always going to happen with any character-based competitive game. Eventually, there’s too many character matchups for new players to want to learn. Nobody would want to get into a game that requires hundreds of hours of homework before they can finally start to become good at the game.
This is a big reason why sequels exist. You have to reset the roster at some point, otherwise things become bloated and impossible to balance. Smash Ultimate has +80 characters, and it’s a miracle that that game only has 5 insanely powerful characters.
