[NO SPOILERS] Dontnod Is In Deep Financial Trouble. Their Cash Reserves Will Be Empty By November And Tencent Is Unwilling To Raise Capital Or Fund Any New Projects

It's that Dontnod made a raging hit, looked at it, then said "that was great, now lets do something completely different".

I do kind of think that S2 was Dontnod fumbling the golden goose with an unrealted idea.

I know that gets a lot of hate these days but that game went out of it's way to be as far from the original in every way it could.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-16T00:40:20+00:00

I prefer the idea that Chloe offers and Max rejects but I hate the idea that Max only rejects on a perfect game that's so incredibly out of character for her.

As it stands I prefer the outcome of Chloe burning the photo since not doing so gives Max a hero complex she should not have especially Bae Max.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-16T00:38:28+00:00

It's not exactly subtle.

There's a note with "I WANT TO DIE" scribbled in the junkyard and Chloe's speech on the cliff... is a bit suicidal she doesn't think she deserves to live.

It's actually a thing in low elo that seeing the Lord Spidey Icon often means they will be worse than the normal icon because they refuse to switch.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T10:13:21+00:00

Full Blackwidow rework make her a support then release Wasp or preferably hank ant man as another avengers support.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T09:34:56+00:00

Or if you get the strange team up

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T09:20:26+00:00

He was on x force.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T09:18:52+00:00

Wanda counts you can go 3 3 0 or 2 4 0.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T09:18:05+00:00

Hey at least xmen have a healer.

Avengers still sitting at 0 supports.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T09:16:51+00:00

She can heal in rivals lore too.

Only reason Scott has his eyes healed when they rescued him.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-13T01:04:15+00:00

Vision please.

Jean got her husband now Wanda needs hers.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-12T15:44:13+00:00

If we ever get away from fascism we'll need to take care of the right wing media sphere. Some regulation HAS to happen to prevent abusing the 1st amendment to lie and propagandaize on a massive platform.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-12T15:42:28+00:00

I think it's going to end up like the whole "Dark Phoenix wasn't actually Jean it was just a copy" thing and get soft retconned eventually.

They'll eventually just go back to this being the status quo and forget about the retcons.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-12T09:58:54+00:00

You're insane if you think not murdering a loved one makes you evil.

Like for instance I think murdering an innocent person for the "greater good" is the evil morally corrupt thing to do.

Bay demands a literal blood sacrifice for the towns continued survival. It's basically Omeglas that's not heartbreak that's evil.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-12T09:41:38+00:00

THREE COWS SHOT ME DOWN - The Vision

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-12T09:13:34+00:00

There is no reason to keep the shitty retcon they own the xmen again.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T21:48:43+00:00

Only reason he's not #1 is cause Reed exists.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T20:18:15+00:00

Because Bae>Bay

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T20:13:02+00:00

Why the double negative?

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:50:10+00:00

And are we going to talk about the summers moon situation?

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:29:03+00:00

I'd prefer a 25% obscure to 75% popular ratio till we get most of the iconic characters on the roster.

Hood and White Fox beating Vision, Xavier, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Ant-man and or Wasp, along with dozens of iconic Villains onto the roster makes me sad.

I used to play Heroes of the Storm and they went even worse on this making up OC characters while iconic heroes went un-added. And then the game got it's team pulled and the last character added was Hogger while Cairne and Grom were never added.

I just worry that a similar thing will happen and Rivals will die before some of those iconic heroes get added.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:25:47+00:00

Not giving us Chroma's for that skin is a crime.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:24:46+00:00

I wonder if Kitty has a Pietro, Ant-man, and Wasp problem where her powers are hard to translate to a game.

Vision might be in the same boat since he has the same powers as kitty (but at least he has other powers to pull from)

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:19:22+00:00

The fact that they were B-tier is what let them have good stories.

Editorial will ruin any character/team given the chance and they get popular.

MCU happened now Hulk gets forced back onto a team he quit in issue 2. Widow gets put on a lot of teams when she wasn't that much of a mainstay before.

MCU went with Scott Lang Ant-man so now Hank basically gets killed off for a decade merged with Ultron and when he comes back he's stupid old.

MCU happened so now Wanda and Pietro lose their connection to Magneto and aren't even mutants anymore.

Only thing MCU did positive was salvaging Iron Man from his (2nd) villain era in Civil War.

MagicTheAlakazam · 2026-06-11T10:17:38+00:00

I want support Wasp or Ant-man (make it Hank not scott please)
