@Alphastream I get the distinct sense that the lack of lore is their "solution" to avoiding lore-related controversy.
@pteryx @Alphastream Rationalized by, "It's the Multiverse. These monsters behave however you want them to in YOUR world." But fundamentally motivated by risk aversion.
@pteryx I think that’s one of the reasons, along with spending space on more variants and wanting to make monsters generic. But I want that lore.
