#just a total clusterfuck on every conceivable level

[regallibellbright]

It’s telling, in a “oh you REALLY didn’t think this one through did you” way, that one of Unity’s walkbacks/clarifications was “Oh no, DEVELOPERS won’t be on the hook for Gamepass/Playstation Plus installations, those fees will go to the distributors!”

Meaning, Microsoft and Sony.

For fees that will be applying retroactively.

If you throw a rock at Gamepass’s biggest indie titles you will probably hit one made in Unity.

And the point at which they go into effect - $200,000 in revenue, 200,000 installs - is COMICALLY low compared to Gamepass numbers.

Like, this is going to easily be in the realm of tens of millions of dollars for Microsoft, minimum. It’s fairly likely to be enough money they actually give a shit.

For fees that will be applying retroactively.

I wish them fucking luck is what I’m getting at they’re gonna fucking need it.

17 - i frequently wonder what Kuwabara’s exact power level is by the end of YYH

because I'm actually not convinced that Kurama ISN'T the weakest member of Team Urameshi by the end of the series

I kind of wish we had more comprehensive info about power classes and all...I have pulled some numbers regarding what we know and honestly, basically all we have is a clusterfuck?

- we don't know what specific numbers go with the lettered classes, all we know is that it increases exponentially and the difference in numbers that spans the conceivable length of the S class range is much, much larger than the difference in numbers that span the entire range of E through A - assuming the numbers measure the same thing, pre-Genkai-training Yusuke's level is 155 and Kuwabara's is 129 - Toguro is upper-B class at the Dark Tournament - Hiei is upper-D class when he first appears, mid-B at the start of Sensui arc - Sensui is S class - Youko Kurama and Hiei both used to be A class, and apparently level up to that again by the final Sensui battle - Makai Tournament Arc numbers: Mukuro 1,575,000 (S) / Yomi 1,550,000 (S) / Raizen 1,322,000 (S) / Yusuke ?? [200,017 in the anime] (S) / Hiei ?? (presumed S class, since he outgrew fighting A's and joined Mukuro's elite guard) / Kurama as Youko 152,000 / Jin, Touya, Chuu, Rinku, Suzuki, Shishiwakamaru 100,000+ [120,000+ in the anime] / Kirin 89,500 / Shachi 37,800 / Hokushin 36,000 (S) / Kuwabara ?? / Kurama on a regular day 1,902 [they bumped it up to 8,902 in the anime because they were so ashamed he couldn't break 2,000???]

Kurama on a regular day, after all of his leveling-up during Dark Tournament and Sensui final battle, is 1,902 do you see where I am going with this

It's really hard to make good comparisons because we're not sure what all these numbers and letters really mean but I'm pretty sure the disparity between Kurama compared to Yusuke and Hiei is significant and huge and I would really, really love to know if Kuwabara is supposed to be ~team weakest link~ in total power still or if Kurama's power levels are hilariously low compared to his as well i have personally come to the conclusion that they are, this is my headcanon

Like no wonder Kurama depends on "I have to figure out my opponent's strategy and then attempt to take them out in one perfectly calculated blow" and "Oh ow oh, this hurts, I am dying, you definitely just landed a bunch of fatal blows on all my vital points ow, look I'm bleeding, let me smear it around a little more and scream a lot, I am definitely not playing this up just to get you to let your guard down" tactics to win, has he been entirely out-classed by every opponent he's ever fought since becoming Shuuichi???

No wonder Hiei makes that dig at the start of the Dark Tournament about how if the mysterious fighter fucks up Hiei and Yusuke (not "and Kurama") can take the slack (I mean I also still assume it's just because Hiei's salty about EVERY PIECE OF BULLSHIT KURAMA HAS PULLED, which is a lot of bullshit and Hiei legitimately doesn't deserve to have to put up with Kurama lol) ...and is proven right because let's see here by the end of the Tournament Kuwabara costs them 3 fights, Kurama costs them 2 fights, and neither Hiei nor Yusuke lose a single one

All of that being said, obviously Kurama's got thousands of years of experience under his belt and he can use his less-than-2,000 power to insane advantage, so he can fight more effectively than Kuwabara. Buuuuuuuut I still think it's very likely that by the time all the Sensui stuff is over with Kuwabara has surpassed Kurama in power and also Yusuke could probably kill Kurama with one punch if he put his mind to it
