And if you think about it, Pig Latin can only be funny to those who speak English... Anyone who doesn't understand the language may well think it's onomatopoeia or a modern version of Raymanian :lol:

By the way... Do you expect a second part of this series or did the game NFT mark the end of CL?

I believe it was well received overall, so I think it's likely that a second season will come out at some point. Of course, there's probably a lot of other considerations at stake, so only time will tell!

I have no idea what the context is, but I think if I did know, it would be worse than what they already said :boon:

I'm pretty sure this was discussed at length before, that was the community manager for that game replying "in-character" to some complaints from Rayman fans, from the point of view as Eden as a totalitarian organization and as a reference to its replacement of Rayman by some kind of clone in the series.

Needless to say, hordes of angry fans completely missed the joke and this resulted in some serious backlash. The CM should probably have been more careful on this one!

Moral of the story: don’t make an easily missable joke for an incredibly desperate fanbase!

Oh, thank god. At this point, I don't know if they're just kidding or serious anymore :oops2:

Given the Rayman community's proven track record of taking all sorts of jokes and references way too literally, I can only agree with that. :lol:

Indeed, I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since that fake smash leak. Backlash was intense.

EDIT: Oh actually it has been a decade, it was in Feb 2015...fuuuckkk.

To think there are people here to whom that line predates. The passage of time truly is horrid.
