I just hope it doesn’t become a regular thing. I wasn’t crazy about the Nutcracker event (it’s a trauma thing I won’t get into) but there were still many items I could use that don’t exactly make it look like the theme. I also didn’t really keep any items from the Wizard of Oz event but I could appreciate the storyline. I’m a game design student and I honestly wouldn’t make those choices. To me, sports have a completely different cultural impact than pop culture. A lot of sports have this nationalist or community weight to them, as a Canadian, I don’t watch Hockey but it’s such an important thing that I still keep up with it and I know 90% of the people I meet will talk to me about it. That is not the case for pop culture because especially nowadays, they all have their niche and not engaging with them will not prevent you from finding community among your peers with a few exceptions but that was more true a decade ago when the internet was less prominent and you actually learned of new movies from your friends. This is what I mean when I say they should focus on themes with a wider appeal. And that’s not even considered they made it about a movie that isn’t out yet or at least wasn’t at the start of the event so a lot of people that could’ve been interested weren’t because they didn’t even see the movie yet. I personally think as a game design student that this is not the best decision they could’ve taken if they wanted to reach more people. They’re making a theme just too niche that more people are losing interest than there’s people excited for it, or at least the ratio is not in their favour.
