  Good luck to them. The name is chef’s kiss

  It is very likely. Though we only have animal examples. And multiple people shared one category.

  I imagine the main issue is the schools being different places. Kaer Morhen should be the single “school building” of the witchers. Makes sense with Geralt being a White Wolf too - nickname makes more sense if not everybody around is a wolf.

  But there are clearly differences between the people with different medalions - like the cats mostly becoming assassins or swords for hire. I’d be really interested in him explaining the different medalions someday.

  So, if even Nintendo doesn’t do anything against it, then it means its legal. xD

  Hah, can’t argue with that. I don’t really see into the legal stuff, but I think it is a grey area if you do it independently, without a license from the IP holders. You are technically using their IP and stuff I think. It is especially questionable if you take money for running the service - even if it is donations for just running it and there would be no profit - companies could see it as potentiel profiteering off of their product.

  There are examples of such servers running with the publishers blessing - there is a private server for City of Heroes (called Homecoming I think?) which got official license from NCSoft to run it. This is only private server that I know off that is 100% legal.

  As far as I can tell from a quick look, this is in no way official. Private servers for online games exist for decades by now (at least for MMOs). The issue is the legally gray area these exist in and that (I assume) it’s not that easy to make them with people.having to backwards engineer stuff.

  I never tried swimming without my nipples. Never gave me any issues.

  To be fair, that one made me even more sad.
