My understanding is that they reconciled both names some time ago, the character’s in-universe real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Eggman is the moniker he’s known for.
The game has like four major maps, that’s why it feels tiny compared to your average CRPG that has dozens of smaller maps to create a sense of a big diverse world.
I guess, but so the owner chose to get a refund, right? If so then that’s to be expected, if that’s the case then I don’t see what the fuzz is about. Unless the refund was forced onto the customer.
Honestly I doubt this is going to change how games are made, I’ve seen this one opinion floating around that if this thing goes forward only the wording on the marketing will change and knowing these companies I agree. Products will become services, ownership to leasing, buying to subscribing and so on.
Honestly this whole thing was a massive disappointment, 30+ announcements and of those only 4 new games while everything else were minor (often meaningless) updates and release dates of early access games. Maybe it’s time these game showcases went away as a whole, they’re never good.
Township does seem rather tacked on I agree, outside of the tasks there isn’t much to do and it doesn’t reward you enough to justify the money sink. Quite frankly, there’s a lot in the game that seems rather pointless outside of getting to lvl 99 (120 with DLC), but I guess that’s the point.
