While it does suck it won’t be FIM anymore, it’s still nice that everything they worked on won’t totally go to waste. I mean, sure, it won’t receive the huge fanbase of bronies like it used, but at least they point and say “Hey, I helped make that.”

Mrs. Faust, I have nothing to say but thank you.

I could get behind this. Best of luck to you, Lauren & Mane6.

For this anon, it’s the symbolism, not the pony, that’s great here.

interesting…but i want mlp…

I wonder if this will be a Galaxy Girls fighting game. No company wants it as a show, maybe she could sell it as a game.

@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
sigh

This shit-storm just makes me harder….

Well, considering the options are “project is dead” or “project is alive but not with FIM characters” I’ll take the latter. Especially if they end up being some comparable form of miniature equines anyways, because then we can go the “just mod it back to ponies” route.

@KuroiKoukei  
There are what? 7 million fighting games with humans/humanoids? I don’t give a rat’s ass about those. The Dev team will need to pull off something really fucking amazing to keep my interest.

[@Phenomena] In this internet: Lauren shits all over hasbro in every way she can  
[@Penartist] “Hasbro killed your project? What a coincidence, I’ll help you”  
:3c

@Itsthinking  
How is it really a middlefinger when the game no longer has any resemblance to the show?
 
People may get this impression but Hasbro does not hate you, I’d be impressed if they cared about you at all. Fighting is Magic wasn’t shut down because they hate bronies, it was shutdown because it was a polished project they didn’t want people to assume had anything to do with them as a company, not to mention the fact that it was using their characters without permission.

But what about Boomer?

@Background Pony  
Well, you know, the whole point of the project was to be a fighter in the FiM setting. Now that it’s not, well, to me it’s just another fighter.

@KuroiKoukei  
Agreed

@The Smiling Pony  
Don’t know why anyone thought it would any other way

No ponies. No interest.

I wonder if they’ll be using famous OC ponies to fill some slots.

Not sure if want.

I wonder what it is…
 
And damn, she must really like interacting with the community to work on this, considering how busy she is.
 
And still, people will describe it as “her last middle finger to Hasbro for killing her dream” when she’s just trying to make a fanbase she cares about happy.

GIF dance party? GIF dance party.  

I took back everything i said about Lauren

So… basically this is no longer an MLP project.
 
Welp.
