Summary

  • Some fans believe ‘Smite 2’ should contain elements that pay respect to veteran gamers.
  • The developers have indicated possible affirmative plans in that direction.

When engaging in the online world of gaming, something as simple as a badge or emblem can foster a sense of camaraderie, sparking nostalgia and eliciting feelings of respect among veteran gamers.
