Sony has the license for movies. The reason they couldn't use spider-man for the digital client was almost certainly because of an exclusive agreement with Marvel Snap.

This really fucked me up playing it as a programmer - agonizing the whole time wondering "the game insists the odds are real - but what if the pseudo-rng is just that bad and they didn't know!"

The serious risk is that what this comes down to is whether someone can argue in court that typing in a prompt counts as "creative input".

This is a really annoying asshole question of me - does a game need combat to qualify as "action"? Knytt definitely has *hazards*, though maybe not in sufficient amounts to feel like action, anyway.

There are probably examples even further afield than Knytt anyway.

Entirely fair! I didn't do it until I had almost every mobility upgrade and it was still pretty close so I can imagine it's incredibly demanding without them.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, only one of the components requires you to do the timed delivery, and getting hit only uses some of the time up rather than failing you instantly.

If it's not that one, I have no idea what quest you mean and I thought I did them all...
