    Little offtopic incoming:

    “when everyone’s special; no one will be.”

    I never agreed with this statement. If everyone is special, then everyone is. In example in game Overwatch everyone has special abilities and are nothing alike anyone else. Everyone is a specialist in their own field. Everyone is special.

      I mean he said “super” not special, he was trying to sell superpowers to level the playing field and reduce the general public’s perception of super heroes.

      I get where you’re coming from, but imo I feel like the quote applies to video games and their publishers a good bit. At least nowadays.

      Everyone wants to be The Next Big Thing, everyone wants their game to be the only one people are playing.

        Yeah, this is really annoying and tiring. Especially multiplayer live service games are designed in a way that you have no time to play anything else.
