🕹️ Are games losing their creative edge in favor of pandering to nostalgia and IP recognition? With examples like Skeletor in Call of Duty and Marvel sets in Magic, we explore how the industry's focus on brand recognition is eroding the depth and immersion of gaming worlds. Fortnite's success in blending diverse IPs has set a dangerous precedent, where profit trumps artistic integrity but it's not too late to push back against this trend. 🎮✨

I need to hear Matt use the phrase “bumbling boob” more often now.

Even if the money slows down, the ones in charge won't take responsibility and change things. Something else will be blamed because mindless crossovers are cheap and easy. That means they can't be at fault.

We recently played a game about ants and they introduced Godzilla as a type of fighter.... for ants... 🙄

I actually quite like crossovers in games, personally; although I've never, ever played Fortnite, I do sometimes watch the trailers to see which characters I can pick out from games I've played.

So the one type of crossover I am enjoying is Magic the Gathering's "Universes Beyond". It is neat to see characters from other franchises as MtG cards. What is problematic is they have tended to make a lot of the cards well more powerful than baseline, so the sets can become "must buys" rather than cool things you grab if you happen to like the other franchise.
