No Mutants Allowed

I don’t think you understand what it means to not be a pedantic cunt, but I love you anyways.

Absolutely, but when you’re a multibillion dollar industry, you can fucking afford to take a sparing risk, I think. It’s like Hollywood rehashing the same shit over and over. You can afford to try something fucking new, so DO IT.

But today gaming and movie industries are based on risk. If it's risky, they wont try it.

That is why most movies and games are just the same these days. They have to follow the formula.

It's the age of "not innovating"... It sucks.
