One of the enduring charms of Smite is the array of mythological creatures it brings out of the annals of history and into the high-energy world of online gaming. A topic that has stirred up quite a buzz among the game’s aficionados is the introduction of Cthulhu – the cosmic entity from H.P. Lovecraft’s pantheon of horrors – into Smite2. Fans also show a keen interest in the possibility of reintroducing limited recolors, particularly Cthulhu’s red avatar.
Summary
- Post primarily discusses the potential hurdles related to bringing Cthulhu into Smite2
- A secondary topic is about the reintroduction of limited recolors, specifically, a red Cthulhu
- Comments reveal divergent viewpoints about Cthulhu’s inclusion and the possibility of reintroducing limited recolors
The Copyright Conundrum
ToxicMoonShine points out that ‘Cthulhu is in the public domain’, so legalities of including him in Smite2 are not a concern. This sentiment is further backed up by AlkinooVIII, who informs that US copyright laws declare that something is in the public domain 70 years after the author’s death and points out that H.P. Lovecraft died nearly 90 years ago.
Contrarian Viewpoints
BlyZeraz, however, shares the viewpoint that Cthulhu was never meant to be a part of Smite, voicing a hope that the character gets dropped from the game. An interestingly acidic comment comes from Efficient-Bumblebee8, who reduces the entire debate of rights to a ‘dumb question’.
Optimistic Projections
Amidst the fiery discussions,Shattered_Disk4 strikes a hopeful note, suggesting that Cthulhu will be in the game for the name value and that bringing in at least one character from every pantheon would be a good move for Smite2.
All things considered, it appears that Cthulhu and, to a lesser extent, limited recolors are topics that inflame the passions of the Smite fanbase. Disparate views, however, only stamp the fact that Smite holds a special place in the hearts of its fans who cannot reserve their opinions and wishes for its sequel game Smite2. Here’s to hoping Smite2 enthralls and sparks debates much the same way.
