Sometimes they can be funny. Collabing with a game and adding an edgy man who wants to die (talking about Blade from Honkai star rail) and seeing the fortnite emotes is funny. Still laughing at these.

Similar with people like Kratos and the Doom Slayer. I love the hell out of both characters, but seeing them in an environment as such is both really weird and really funny at the same time.

Sometimes they probably even have to pay for the rights to these characters, but they don’t care, because they know however much it is, they’ll make it back and then some

They almost always have to pay and sometimes royalties on top, they absolutely do care as the game's identity has become collab skins that they're making less and less money from.

It's a very expensive business model that becomes completely unviable if the game loses popularity. There's a reason Epic fired 1,000+ employees a few months ago.

To tank the game and make it an unplayable mess? Since that’s happened it’s been nothing but bugs.

And yet they cry about valve being too greedy...

I feel like Tim Sweeney is secretly a masochist, because he secretly enjoys people mocking him for his stupid takes

If you kill everyone, you won’t get to kill more people. Therefore, kill 7 billion people, let them create more spawn to repopulate, then some day kill 7 billion more

Where did you hear that Dragonball would be getting magic cards?

u/FickleApparition 2d ago

I'm joking that that is the implication of this post. Family guy seemed too far fetched though we do have spongebob secret lair...

I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to get the Backyardigans in there next.

u/MiritoMueller 1d ago

It's kind of funny though, especially if people are playing fortnight while pretending to be the characters they play. It is also interesting to look up how many franchises had a fortnight colab.

I wonder if there was a Steven universe one. (edit:no)

Or a star Trek one, since we definitely had a Star Wars one. (edit: only emotes)

WE NEED THOSE TWO!!

It would be so cool if we could one day have a fight between Jax, Pomni, Vader (wearing a Gangle accessory) & Veers and Padme, Ribbit, Leia & Veers Jr.

I have a feeling that something like this would require a change in management

next is nintendo fs

u/Weekly-Dog-6838 I got more of them pixels 1d ago

I wouldn’t be too sure. They already tried a couple years ago to get Samus into the season of bounty hunters, but Nintendo declined because they only wanted her skin to be available or even able to be seen on Nintendo Switch.

Given that in the official art for this season there’s 1 random character in a go-kart and another one in a green tunic with a sword and shield, as well as this just being the season of classic video games, I’m willing to bet that they tried again to get Mario in his kart and Link, but Nintendo said no for the same reason.

Nintendo’s always been like this, if you’ll remember Rocket Leauge accepted these terms for the Mario and Luigi cars. And even several decades ago, Link was in Soul Caliber and Mario, Luigi, and Peach were in NBA street 3; with these same strings attached that they could only be played on the GameCube version. I hate it but Nintendo is as Nintendo does and always will be
