The idea that Rexzilla and his crew murder any unaffiliated solo players on their drop zone so that they can play highly scripted fight scenarios unmolested is something I think about often.

Is that something that's already in some movie? Murdering people to take over their land to then have mock battles on it? I mean you could say America, or probably lots of other places, but I feel like this is something that would come up more directly in fiction.

E: I think in Destiny the multiplayer maps being set in hostile areas is justified in fiction by saying that the main PvP coach Guardian wants his students to spar in places close to where they'll really be fighting, so he sends swarms of redshirt robots to secure a perimeter in which CTF or Team Deathmatches can occur. This even happens for maps set on the giant trans-dimensional alien space fortress of doom.

I'd argue that the idea of wiping out a bunch of people who were hanging out in an area before you got there, more or less minding their own business, then planting a flag so you can playact "important leader of men" is pretty much all of human history.

It's an idea that existed in Shadowrun related to “Urban Combat” — a sport league where two teams have a capture-the-flag-style street war. The general lore stated that, while this obviously tended to get the neighbourhood shot up and exploded the UC leage and the corporate sponsors would pay for repairs and renovations and having your block selected as a battleground was often welcome because you got a free hotel stay during the battle and free renovation afterwards. And if you didn't agree to those terms, your apartment was obviously uninhabited and no-one should ask any questions of the no-name squatter found dead in a sewer two weeks later…

…also, doesn't something similar come up in Running Man, or were those just accidental previous winners they found piled murdered in some part of the arena?

My first response was going to be that he saw it was a "she" and immediately assumed she was some community manager or bit of fluff that knew nothing about the actual development of the game. But, Commandos are good people I'm being overly cynical I guess :airquote:

Nah, s1rmunchalot seems legitimately mentally disturbed in some way. You can check out his history if you are so inclined, he can generate essays on pretty much any obscure star citizen topic.

In keeping with the mentality of the commandos, I imagine that the main issue is that she's a woman. She's only been a senior level producer for over a decade, what could she possibly know?!

Go for like FFXV where it also has a launcher inside the game itself. I feel like the joy of launchers needs to be a thorough experience.

You know Hitchikers right, where there is the quote about the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation marketing department being "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."

Yeah, i think Douglas Adams had his own issues with marketing departments even back in the 70s.
