minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 month agoNowadays? You mean like how every first person shooter after doom was called a “doom clone?”
minus-square@otplinkEnglish4•edit-21 month agoI’m specifically referring to to X-like. In the 90’s, we also had Street Fighter-clones! But nowadays we know better.
