Comment Re:Ready Player One makes you really wonder (Score 1) 73

You don't even need to get fancy: how do normal stairs work in Ready Player One, where you visually step onto something and lift the rest of your body, while in the real world your leading foot ends up at the same height as your trailing foot? There are some pretty fundamental discontinuities that would require extremely elaborate setups to even begin to address.

Dude, everything copies everything. "We stand on the shoulders of giants", "Great artists steal", etc. It wasn't that long ago that games like Half Life were called Doom clones, derivative, etc. Now many of those games are held in critical esteem, because the recognition of the novility won out over the originality purists.

Fortnite copied PUBG which copied Day Z (yes, I know, same guy, but a copy is a copy) which copied from Battle Royale which copied from Lord of the Flies. And yet, if someone says "I love playing Fortnite", and another person responds with "Psha, I already read Lord of the Flies in high school, don't need any more of that", you might rightly roll your eyes.

Similarly, Overwatch copied from Team Fortress 2 which copied from Team Fortress which copied from Quake which was copied from Doom. Congratulations, people have discovered an artistic lineage.
