“recent trend” as in like when mass effect did it 16 years ago?

It looks like Skyrim in space and I don’t really get why anyone was expecting something else

these damn fools porting it to the two most popular platforms instead of the one you in particular wanted. they should fire whoever made that choice smh

and they’re probably right. they’d honestly just be stupid to charge less.

I think the difference is that a lot more English speakers watch anime as it’s airing in Japan now.
