I think there are many reasons not to think the situation is as weird as it smells to you, but I'll stick to one: taking this as an indication of some significant shift would be to abandon a _lot_ of _significant_ priors.įor better and worse, Catalyst (and Fanpro before that) have generally erred on the side of _accumulating_ rules rather than the kind of wholesale revisions that are not hard to find in other games and that you may be concerned about (e.g.
