But you have seen it!
they be naming anything
Balor......the DnD Balrog equivalent demon?
Wotc would like you to know that for legal reasons Balors have no connections to Balrogs owned by the Tolkien estate.
Balors are also a Celtic mythology thing but not really demons.

Gonna get a little nerdy here and say it's not BalorS, it's Balor, Balor of the evil eye who had seven eyelids, each one lifted slowly causing the destructiveness of his eye to begin to permeate until he'd fully opened them all, and yes, he wasn't a demon, he was a fomorian; there's a myth about a lake, the Loch na suil where supposedly Lugh threw the eye of Balor upon killing him that burned a hole into the ground that's said to be where the Fomorians will invade from once again; the lake has a hole in it and it clears out two to three times a century.
Ok but, that is way cooler than the DND Balor, which is just a massive damage sponge with a bunch of attacks. (Also fomorians are way cooler in mythology vs dnd, where in dnd they are just like, ugly mean giants)
Sounds bad
Laid off workers from humble games = good games group. They're buying the company from its owner.
Honestly having a hard time finding out how many of the humble games workers made it to good games group. All articles just mention the two managers.
Good point
Still better than the fuckwits who fired everyone owning the company.
Not sure, probably no worse than now. Funny at least.
