They're just right. Why would they listen to all the wrong people if they're already right? They might learn that they're NOT right, and that would upend the fabric of the universe!
Dung Defender had a tragic romance with Isma. And The Pale King is the father of every player character with multiple ladies.
Also, Britta's fangirling over you and Zote.
The thing about the 2D market being "oversaturated" is that anyone can pump out garbage, so there's a lot of it. But that's been true since the 90s. There are loads of bleh games out there, but that just means that you make something quality, and it can stand out from the crowd.
No fan of 2D platformers goes "Oh, there's just too many games. Guess I won't play this new one that looks really good!"
Then they can flee to Mexico. Why is it our responsibility to take in everyone?
Dobson seems to have turned his life around. He's making stylish Mario and Link animations under a new name, hasn't sperged out about anything yet, and people only found out it's him because they connected the dots regarding his paypal account and some details in the animations.

Edit: He's still a diversity lesbian lover, though, so he's still not healthy.
"Why don't you support original media!?"
It's only a matter of time, really.
And the euphemism treadmill continues to truck on....
So... what's the alleged benefit to this? This just seems like a handout.
It doesn't take much to make a villain seem like a winner despite losing to the heroes.
A. They had a backup plan that the heroes didn't know about.
B. The plan the heroes foiled was merely a diversion from the real scheme.
C. The heroes did stop the scheme, but ceded something else the villain actually/also wanted in the process.
Just have the bad guy gain ground and he seems like a major threat. The fact that modern writers can't understand this shows how... basic they are.
Doesn't this kind of happen gradually, over the course of the show?
Of course, it's less they save him and more they save his family. And it's less he became a good guy and more he gradually becomes a less cold man over time and stops actively antagonizing the gargoyles.
So I guess it's not like that at all, really.
My grandfather was never an American citizen. He was a Swedish man till the day he died. That being said, he came to the country legally, and always kept his visa up-to-date. Through the process of marrying my grandma and having my dad's family, he followed all the rules to live here as a legal immigrant.
And people wonder why I'm unsympathetic to illegal immigrants.
I uh... I thought the sister was the tranny at first glance. Once I perceived the brother, there wasn't any doubt. But in the initial look, I didn't even register him. It was kind of creepy, honestly.
Roblox doesn't even have to be in on the conspiracy. All you have to do as John Government, is find a nice, kid-appealing place that's prime hunting ground for predators. Then you look the other way to let everything ferment and fester. And once you're ready to present your "solution" you expose how terrible things you let things get and go "Here's my new law that makes this bad thing EXTRA illegal! (And helps us spy on you easier.)"
They pretend not to understand what the problem is because it's easier to tear down "implicit perverts expect perfection" vs "the creators didn't even try."
Either they're strawmanning, or they really are that stupid and have bought the lie themselves.
I mean... I want to go to Japan. Just to visit, because I think it looks like a cool place. And I want to visit BECAUSE it's Japan, and not a homogenized mess.
Implying that they're still not too hung up on their hardware gimmicks.
Coughs in disabled, mouse controlled robots
Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Megaman 2, Megaman Battle Network 3, Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Smash Bros Melee, Paper Mario: TTYD, Team Fortress 2, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Wario Land 4, Super Mario Land 2, Kirby's Dreamland 2, etc, etc, etc.
Who WOULDN'T prefer a short, gimmicky minigame over a full-fledged sequel? Even if they couldn't capture the same spark Majora had, it still would have been better than Crossbow Training....
On the one hand, I appreciate Miyamoto's understanding that games are toys to be played with, first and foremost. On the other hand, the man really doesn't understand that every great action figure comes with a comic, cartoon, or at the very least, really nice box-art that gives context and inspiration for play. Mix in the standard Nintendo "You WILL play in our pre-determined manner!" and you end up with such cherished masterpieces as Paper Mario Sticker Star and Star Fox Zero....
If I grew up watching PBS and became a bad person, that doesn't speak highly of PBS' ability to raise good people, now does it?
It's really telling how taking responsibility is attacked at every turn. You made a mistake and are actively trying to fix it? "How dare you make a mistake in the first place!?" You putting aside your own self interest to do the right thing? "Oh, so now you want a medal for basic human decency!?"
Our society takes itself for granted. People have completely forgotten that our default state is to be a selfish animal. We have to learn to be civilized, and if it's not reinforced and appreciated, people will stop bothering altogether. Delayed gratification is hard. Immediate pleasure activates monke neurons.
Oh. yaaaaay. you're back.
I feel like playing an awful, AWFUL lot of Minecraft after watching that.
"Thou hast called me into Narnia, Rishda Tarkaan. Here I am. What hast thou to say?"
-Tash, the demon. Spoken before abducting the non-believer who invoked his name to oppress Narnians.
