One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it's OK if some players are better than others because we're all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

Jobs being made obsolete by new technology is one thing.

Artists having their works taken and profited off of without consent, attribution, or compensation is another.
