Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.

The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.

Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.

Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.

Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.

We really can't hate these people enough.

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Peace Walker was the last game I ever lined up for on launch day. Still have that copy of it. And yes, I'm in my 30s now.

@GenePark (Note: I am a massive Titanfall 1 fan, Titanfall 2 I have a lot of gripes against, but I'm being as objective as I can here. I'm like 99% sure this is the reason why there hasn't been a reasonable competitor in some time. I still need to play Diesel Knights.)

[BlueMaxima @BlueMaxima]

@GenePark So anyone making "TitanLikes" either goes for the UT-inspired Titanfall 1 and get no players, or go for the COD-inspired Titanfall 2 which might get a spike of attention every now and again but still probably fail to catch an audience because people would rather play CoD instead.

@lgs_pro @hedondev Not as bad as you think, what you don't know gets filled in via exposition

Fuck.

I got my copy of the PlayStation 2 Anthology and it's quite funny how it's bigger than an actual PS2...

@tekno_thom @kagerisu I did it on Floria Fields. Fall back far enough and reject the UFO, they might just give you the Missile.

@KingTheGalaxy28 @kagerisu Give all the AI Bull Tanks, handicap 4, AI 1, King Dedede. They'll move like molasses in the beginning, so a spin can hit all 5. Might take a few tries.

Won my first City Trial. Kirby Air Riders rocks.

This censorship is powered by the two major duopolistic payment networks and, as usual, the key people behind it don't even play games.

This may gradually become worse. Soon, games like the POSTAL series, Rimworld and many others may have severe struggles if these precedents are put into place just because these companies might eventually decide they "don't like their approach" and force store fronts like Steam for takedowns.

The future isn't looking bright.

While I never actually worked on it, I had and shared the initial concept for the ArchiveTeam Warrior - a distributed network of scriptable web-archiving virtual machines.

This makes me indirectly responsible for several petabytes of internet archives made over the past decade.
