FortuneCookie 02/02/23 5:39:06 PM #1:	In the 80s and 90s, fighting games, wrestling games, run and gun games, and beat 'em ups were filled with characters modeled after the following: Arnold Schwarzenegger Bruce Lee Mike Tyson Andre the Giant Hulk Hogan The Road Warriors I don't really feel like this is as much of a thing as it used to be. There isn't really a go-to action star in the same vein as Arnold except maybe The Rock or Daniel Craig. It seems like you don't really see wrestler copycats either. Like, it would be weird if you were playing Streets of Rage 5 and they suddenly had a boss fight that was John Cena with red hair and different colored clothing from what he normally wore. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:971284396] in Is this st...

GuerrillaSoldier 02/02/23 6:13:24 PM #11:	yes it's still a thing in gaming, usually now it's official and paired with sold accessories and player cosmetics once in a while you'll get games like wrestlers or (mutant) football players based off of things as parody. but it's actually more common, beneficial, and safe for people to just lock in legitimate contracts and everyone gets paid properly. because that's what fun is all about of course. --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm.
