Someone's got to crunch those numbers.

I wouldn't say Metroid and Castlevania merging into the name of a new genre label is quite the same as expecting every game with the word "Soul" in the title to be a souls-like.

Rogue has a similar problem sure, but I don't think it's at the point of expecting every game using the word to be a Rogue-like. Recent example 40k: Rogue Trader.

Its a bit odd if a genre can have a monopoly on a word which has been used throughout games involving any magic or mysticism since the 80's

Right, thanks for that, it's quite unclear to me from their comment, even if I re-read it now. I thought it was a weird spelling we use or something.

In the UK, "telegraph pole" can refer to any overhead wire carrying pole like this (usually the wooden ones), which can be carrying electric or telephone connections. They still do to in a lot of rural areas.

How else would you spell it?

Why do you think NBA players and football players have the same type of job as a politician? They are literally entertainers. Politicians should be running their area of politics to improve the lives of the people they represent, not sell them shit.

Why is buying the item the problem? Che Guevara isn't selling you a shirt. He didn't do a deal to sell shirts. The random theoretical shirt buyer you are talking about is not the same as an ex-president, who is also running to be president again, profiting from selling merchandising like a struggling garage band.

Kinda. On PC you still use the Xbox app and game pass has Xbox branding. It's not just about OS, it's about store sales.

My point is that technically everyone that bought it bought it on iOS. The figures are the same whether you look at iOS sales, MacOS sales or "Apple ecosystem" sales.

Ok but we are taking about the ecosystem. Should we start saying "Xbox ecosystem" for everything on game pass, or the "Steam ecosystem" for games that work on PC and Steam Deck?

You say that like it's not tacky for a former President to license their image to a shoe company.

Leaving the EU was a major problem. All game developers in other EU countries pull from all over the EU for their talent pool, but that's much harder for the UK now.

So you mean to say you can play on all iOS devices?

Someone should write them a strongly worded letter for infringing on white representation and ruining the man's good reputation.
