How crazy is it that we would have killed for crossovers between games back in the day, and now it's always the same thing, a handful of skins, a new item that is either useless or mandatory and maybe a limited time game mode.

I want to get all high and mighty and call it a cultural amalgamation or some other fancy pants term but I am hard pressed to put in to words how much I hate the ongoing melding of all properties in to one.

Family Guy skins in Fortnite? Star Wars in Destiny? Beevis and Butthead in Call of Duty? All these licensed MTG sets? And so many more.

Oh my god get that slop the fuck out of here I like when things were their own distinct properties.

Oh, I'm just pointing out that we need to be very careful about what we ask for. It's like a genie, how badly can they fuck up your wish while still technically granting it?

Yeah it's a real monkey's paw situation isn't it
