It does look like a clone, but fuck IP law. Sony winning this will only hurt games because any publisher with a genre creating / defining game could gatekeep any competitors from coming in *cough Nintendo.

The original horizon came out 8 years ago, that’s plenty of time for them to cash in on the monopoly they get for all the creativity that went into creating the genre / style.

Its not like they’re marketing it with a similar name or main character or any other identifier that could trick someone into buying it instead either.

I’m pretty sure any iPhone and it’s parts are worth way more than any android. If you had a fully modular android phone that is easy to take apart it still wouldn’t be worth much because there’s no market for it since maybe a dozen people have that phone.

Seems to be more complaining about the lack of it. The better the skill based matchmaking is the larger those yellow slices would be. But a lot of gaming companies know about the gambling mindset of players who want to roll the dice and hope they get in the lobby where they stomp the other team so they’ll make the matchmaking not as good and make it a coin flip on whether your on the stomping team, so the yellow slice becomes smaller.
