Granted! All Steam customers see the light and understand that DRM shouldn't be supported!

- That is - people who buy vapourised water become enlightened. I guess I didn't understand the significance of the capital s. Sowwy.

Customers of hot mist and their actions don't have as much impact on the computer games industry as we had hoped...

I wish I had a fresh pot of my nana's soup and knaidlach.

Granted, you now have a fresh potion of your nana's soup inad knaidlach.

("pot" is sometimes used to mean "potion" in video games; I suspect the term originates from MMORPGs.)

I wish that the terms "buff", "debuff", and "grind", which appear to come from MMOs, would stop being used, and that the term "mob" would never be used to refer to a single enemy.

Granted. But, like you often find with ebay purchases, the size was not what you were expecting, and it's about as big as a thimble.

I wish Boris Johnson (My PM), wasn't such a dick.

Granted: Boris Johnson's name is not "Dick", so nothing happens.

The wish I just made still stands.

Granted: "buff/de-buff" is replaced with "masculize/feminize", "grind" is replaced with "massacre", and "mob" refers to players who spread Antifa or BLM dogma.

I wish Hatred had a mood-setting in the options so players could change the look and attitude of the whole game; and separately, that it was also fun to play no matter what the vibe instead of not at all.

Granted, but setting the mood is now the *only* thing you can do, with the game otherwise playing out automatically (though it's at least fun to watch). Note that changing the mood can affect the gameplay, so it's still interactive, just only mildly so.

I wish that low-interaction mechanics-focused games would start becoming popular. (Specifically, I'm thinking of games that have emergent behavior, like Conway's Game of Life, rather than things like visual novels.)

Granted, they become so popular that the mainstream completely abandons any pretense of skill in favor of animated movies where you control the camera. (This is honestly my favorite corruption in the whole thread so far, the lack of skill makes it a corruption still, but an audience-controlled camera sounds like a cool idea.)

I wish all 3D animated movies had controllable cameras and weird jokes and/or plot foreshadowing hidden in every scene!

Granted! But full control of the camera always goes to some douchebag who just uses it to do closeups of actors' underwears!

I wish everyone in the world had a space where they could grow their own veg.

Granted, now everyone has their very own genius inventor grown right out of the ground! Your Vegapunk will outfit boats with hulls that make them invisible to whales so you can never go whale-sighting again! He'll lobotomize your rebellious children and install lasers in their throats, he can even install communication features into snails so that you need to put snails close to your face whenever you make a call!

I wish "haki" was never written into One Piece, the concept reeks of "delusional bad-ass" thinking.

As nobody knows what you're referring to, your wish cannot be granted and is self-corrupting.

I wish for an end to the avalanche of garish, pixelated first person shooters of no substance and integrity made by half a man (obviously, somebody who has made a part-time job of it), and for these to be replaced by a handful of really good, less garish, perhaps pixelated first person shooters that really stand out for their quality.

Granted, these are the last video games ever made before a giant solar flare destroys our electricity infrastructure.

I wish Instaboy would ditch the ego that he speaks for everyone.

Granted, but you just picked up that ego.

I wish for [game name redacted] to release on GOG.

Granted, it now has more Xi the Pooh references than ever before and China formally declares war on Poland.

I wish "haki" was never written into One Piece, the concept reeks of "delusional bad-ass" thinking.

Granted. But Luffy wasn't able to immobilise that army with a single glance that one time and got mobbed to death and the series came to an abrupt and dissatisfying end.

I wish for the best possible outcome of this wish.

The best possible outcome, from the perspective of everyone else, is that nothing comes of your wish; and that is indeed what happens.

I wish there was a way to produce honey that didn't require bees.
