I followed up with a “YouTube is a weird motherfucker, man,” and really, it is. With all due respect to YouTube being a great home for video creators and curators for years, it’s become a platform that’s just a predator to new people who are probably even average joes in making their videos. I’ve heard of corruption within YouTube itself, from the poor policy clarity when it comes to long videos of parties shared for diary or blog purposes that contain loads of distorted copyrighted songs in the background, to even the advertisers noticing that logical talks of terrorist philosophies is the worst thing they’ve allowed their automated curation systems to do.

Anyway, at that moment, when he sent me the messages logged in the beginning of the article, I immediately thought:

This is could be either good for the sake of Spyro’s revival, or bad for the same reason that they thought making toys was a good idea to substitute for the lack of a Spyro game.

For a while, I forgot I was friends with this guy, because he’s a little more interested – actually, okay, a LOT more interested – in playing ARK: Survival Evolved than curating for Spyro; his website says it all.

But then I remembered that Activision also has the power to do whatever the hell they want due to the sheer amount of publicity and “respect” they have on all fronts. Remind me: what makes a video game company deserving of a fulfilled desist order on that level, when EA literally can’t get eastarwars.com back from 4chan?

Knowing my distrust in Activision, I naturally bend towards the latter instinct described in the h2-sized paragraph, because I’ve held a firm belief for a decade and a half that mixing a dragon with Moneybags was never going to end well. Skylanders was the literal, physical, this-feels-disgusting-to-touch-and-look-at representation of that. I’ll never forget the devastation I got when one kid literally said that name when I showed him a picture of Spyro sitting on a beach chair with a drink coasted next to him.

But seeing these messages at least lets me know that there is something that’s actually legitimate for Spyro to come. It’s definitely going to be Remaster news for sure once the pages come to fruition, because you literally can’t have Crash without Spyro after Universal Interactive made them out like brothers from other mothers in the McD’s Tiger Electronics commercials.

But I know you guys will deny that part. I’m okay with letting you guys believe that the Remaster news are only a possibility when the official YouTube and Twitter pages come to fruition. Just do me a favor: if the news do come with their fruition, don’t say nobody saw it coming - I did.



It’s a sign to take in, guys. Let it sink into your flames.
