did you know that Gary Gygax thought LOTR was boring af
Though I thoroughly enjoyed The Hobbit, I found the "Ring Trilogy"...well, tedious. The action dragged... At the risk of incurring the wrath of the Professor's dedicated readers, I must say that I was so bored with his tomes that I took nearly three weeks to finish them. (Gary Gygax in Dragon magazine #95, March 1985, pp 12-13)

Anonymous Coward: what would be the absolute worst choice Kingdom Heart 4 could make that could realistically happen? headfallsoff.com: it would be really bad if they announced it years early, went for a needlessly expensive realistic style on a new engine after finally getting their UE4 pipeline in order and then spent multiple years failing to make a mobile spin off that melts your phone if you play it for more than ten minutes, leading to another decade without any meaningful kingdom hearts releases. that would suck

Reminds me of this iconic Miyazaki quote
When asked whether he’d seen the film, Miyazaki replied: “No I haven’t. I rarely watch other things. I don’t watch TV, I don’t watch movies. I’m a retired old man picking up trash.”

There was an interview with GOG where they explain that it was hard to convince Capcom to let them release the original RE games because they thought they had been obsoleted by the remakes. I bet a lot of devs feel similarly. Strange to think we value old games more than their creators.
“Capcom were like, ‘we have all of those remakes. It’s already the superior experience to those games.’ They didn’t really see the value in bringing back the vanilla versions. It took a lot of convincing that there is an audience that has a lot of memories about those games, and would love to experience exactly the same game again. Thankfully, we were able to convince them. Excerpted from https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/when-we-launched-resident-evil-on

I get what you mean. I immediately thought of how villainess stories combine tropes from otome games, shoujo manga, and light novels to create parodies of a genre that doesn't exist.

www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/20...
To answer this question, I'd like to direct your attention to this article I wrote about the trend in 2020. To summarize what I wrote then, the trend does not appear to be inspired by first-hand experience with otome games other than the basic visual novel setup of multiple love interests and routes. The closest analog is perhaps Rosalia, the rival character in the classic 1994 SNES dating sim Angelique, but most otome games don't actually feature a “villainess” character! So, where does that character trope come from, and why is it now associated with otome games generally? In 2019, manga artist Michiro Ueyama drew a web comic regarding his interpretation of its origin. The manga's protagonist, a middle-aged man, remarks that the stereotypical villainess design with the blonde ringlets reminds him of Eliza from Candy Candy, a classic shōjo manga from the 1970s, along with the rival characters from Aim for the Ace! and Glass Mask. As for the “reincarnated as the rival character” part, the initiator of that trend may be the popular 2013 web novel Kenkyo, Kenjitsu wo motto ni Ikite Orimasu! (My motto is Living Honestly and Humbly). Rather than an otome game, the girl gets reincarnated as the catty rival character in a shōjo manga. Still, the story's progression should be familiar to anyone aware of the “villainess” trend: The heroine tries to avoid a bad fate by exploiting her meta knowledge but unwittingly attracts the attention of suitors. Next came My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! in 2014, which was easily the most influential series in the subgenre. It transplanted the familiar premise of Kenkyo, Kenjitsu wo motto ni Ikite Orimasu! into a video game, allowing it to tap into the ongoing LitRPG web novel trend. Until then, most of the “villainess” stories stuck to pure fantasy settings; even if the heroine originated from another world, the stories did not incorporate video game meta.
