    I’m actually surprised to see how many people want Samus in Fortnite. I just don’t understand, what does it matter? If you want to see your favorite character in something, you can go consume their media. What about shooting a gun and doing a dance makes it special?

        So Epic games makes all that money because people want to teabag as their favorite characters?

        Man we live in wild times 🙂

      Can they, though? Can they?

    As someone who doesn’t play Fortnite, this is good. Let my emotionally destroyed girl be smashin‘ with dread.

    I know half of everything is already in Fortnite, but not everything has to be in it. Nintendo is the one making the biggest loss on this, and I doubt anyone is going to lose sleep over it.

        And trademark is way better imo than copyright. Trademark is all about protecting against fraud, copyright is about protecting against access to content.

        I’m totally happy with the trademark law we have, but I’d like to see copyright and patent law severely modified and their durations dramatically shortened (like 15 years for copyright, 5-7 for patents).
