   @paulthenerd I can see it going overboard, like with Fortnite (so I've heard); I don't know about MultiVersus but I think the Smash Bros. series has done a good job. I think it is really cool taking a character you know and love and playing as them in a fighting game.
   It has actually encouraged me to play some of the game series some of the characters came from.

   I do worry about the future, though; if crossovers become too common I feel like characterization itself will begin to become fluffy….

     I will never play stupid BS crossover nonsense like #MultiVersus or #SuperSmashBros.

     Dear #VideoGames industry, stop taking beloved and iconic characters out of the context that made them beloved and iconic, only to put them in a context that makes zero sense to the character. For the love of God, respect your own IP.
