I smell lawsuit from Disney, or them singing you're welcome for borrowing the character design
Boisterous burly dude who names his miniguns also gives me a bit of TF2 Heavy vibe, tho this guy is more on the cocky side.

PS: should be noted Maui is an actual figure from Maori mythology. Disney did not invent him whole cloth.

But we all know that's not gonna stop them from trying to sue AB, or at least consider. I am well aware of Maui's legend, and while there are many different imaginings of how he looks like, AB's design seems to have uncanny resemblance to that of Disney

I noticed the next wow expansion is a trilogy of expansions that are chaining a story which really stinks of them trying to be ff14.

Yeah, Disney doesn't have the ability to copyright control Maui, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh, Czernobog and other sundry things.

They do however own their specific cartoon (or otherwise) designs though, so they can definitely get slapped for taking that, unless they push back thats its simply a generic CGI chracter interpretation of some previously established folklore/art.

MW3 early-access is here, and to no one but fanboys' surprise, it launches with tons of problems:

(BTW, Acti is blaming the game's size on the open-world design for zombies)

Campaign is only around 70 GB of that 240-250 GB

Well, people have spent the past two years pointing at FF14 and saying "No, like that stupid!". So what was anyone expecting?

Anyway, I loved the cinematic but I think its a little slow and low key for an actual intro. The WoW Intro cinematics are are typically very punchy but this is very contemplative. Its really good and the music is beautiful but I think something else is needed but I won't exactly be heartbroken if that's it.
