I’m honestly quite fine with not owning any Ubisoft games, so me and this exec are on the same page of being happy not owning Ubisoft games it seems like

What’s hilarious is that a Fortnite event was where his broadcast was played; iirc we didn’t even hear it in the actual movie, just that he is back… somehow.

This also means that Fortnite is canonical to the Disney EU.

I like to think this is the prequel to the Barclay greentext about committing suicide via launching a giant Troi at himself

Joke’s on you, I only needed 69 digits to calculate the circumference of your dad’s cock

You say that as if any of those games or series are truly original:

Fortnite

Fortnite just copied other survival games like Rust and Ark. Epic put their own spin on it by combining it with a battle royale - sorry, with a PUBG game mode.

Zelda

If you’re talking BoTW and ToTK, you can argue they just copied other open-world games like The Elder Scrolls and Far Cry and added a Zelda flair. Weapon degradation was even present in the older TES games.

Pokemon

Pokemon is just a kid-friendly version of the Shin Megami Tensei games without the fusion mechanic. Some of the Gen 1 Pokemon designs were also more or less lifted straight from Dragon Quest.

Minecraft

It was more or less virtual Legos when it first came out, and the survival mechanics gave it a unique spin.

So if you really wanted to, you can reduce all of the games you mentioned into their influences and what they straight-up copied. Funny thing is, these are all very well-received games because their core gameplay mechanics and designs were very good, and they added their own spin on things. Copying others isn’t a bad thing so long as you’re either iterating on it to improve it or to do something different to it somehow.

Now imagine how horrifying this sketch would be if vacuums were sentient

It also helps if the game is genuinely fun or interesting to play. I can tell you I’m having a hell of a lot more fun watching people play this than recent Pokemon games, and it’s making me consider dropping some money to buy the game.

If a game copies what another game does but does it better and/or gives it own spin on things (which PalWorld arguably does, considering that you can have your ~~Pokemon~~ Pals fight with machine weaponry and also ~~enslave~~ capture people as Pals), I don’t see how that can be a bad thing. Otherwise, people should be up in arms about every roguelike Metroidvania or Soulslike game.

Man, if only there was some sort of energy source that is not only green and renewable, but also outputs a ton of energy rather efficiently…

Glad to see that person thought ahead and made sure a third party was ensuring everything was ethical and moral 👍
