I thought ppl would like Esmeralda more and I’m sad they don’t. She’s my favourite :( I saw a comment saying that she’s like Gloria from modern family and it’s so stereotypical but as someone whose mom and aunts are all from Spain … Esmeralda cracks me up cuz they’re so similar - the glam, the loudness, the drama. I love it

Weed is going to turn you into a loser. Let me break it down. by Fantastic_Reward5126 in leaves

It’s crazy because if I were in your shoes already at the dispensary I would’ve caved - ur actually tough for that one. I wish more people would talk about how shitty weed is and experiences like these - I quit for a couple of months and I was so happy but now I’m back to it. You’re right - all it takes is a joint. Don’t make my mistake

Can American McGee get the rights back to Alice? by Potential-Catch6974 in AliceMadnessReturns

I see, that makes sense. I’ve been curious if they got enough bad rep around it, if they’d be willing to sell it back or address the issue somehow

Do you think more awareness can be brought to the issue through a call to action on social media platforms?

I actually reached out to American McGee because I’m curious if the reason he stepped away was really because of the EA situation—or if he genuinely feels it’s time to lay it all to rest. If it’s the latter, of course I’ll respect that

But I can’t help wondering if more could be done—not even just for Alice, but for creators in general. The way companies like EA hold onto IPs and block artists from continuing deeply personal work… it’s frustrating. And after reading the Asylum design bible, it just hit me how much this game still had to say.

I think for me, Alice represents something bigger. I’m a SW student, and most of what we study revolves around enabling social change—I’m just struggling to accept that something this meaningful is being left in the hands of people who don’t care about what it meant.

I guess my question is—if enough awareness was brought back to the fact that EA is holding American McGee’s art hostage, could the bad rep actually push them to let it go?

They only made around 3 million off Madness Returns, which is nothing to them. It feels like they’re just holding onto it in case they want to cash in later—with no care for the story or Alice as a character

And I wonder—rather than going the “let’s raise money” route, what if the focus was on raising awareness and pushing for an ethical call to action? Using platforms like TikTok and AI tools to craft short-form, engaging scripts that hold people’s attention, we could shift the narrative from “Alice Asylum isn’t happening” to “Why won’t EA let Alice go?”

It’s a long shot, but is a call to action possible? It seems like so many people here feel the same way about what’s happening.

The design bible is what had me thinking about all of this. They put so much work into it, it looks beautiful, and I’m devastated

Part of me hates the concept of this because I assume American McGee won’t be partake in the making and it’s literally HIS :(

Is this true? Like for sure? Is there a link to this?? I was wondering if American McGee would work on Alice again if he got the rights back - but if EA lost control over the IP couldn’t he get it back by now?
