Basically, the argument I'm getting here is "2.5D is easier to make and takes less effort to make than 3D, but 3D is cooler."

MLP: Fighting is Magic used the 2.5D approach, since it was a lot easier to make than 3D, and it got immensely popular. Literally the only problem they faced was that they got a C&D from Hasbro right before they released the finished product. I curse that timing every time I think about Fighting is Magic... *Sigh* If only the C&D had gotten there after they released it. Even if they took down the download and servers, other people would've put up the download elsewhere and started their own servers. "In your face, Hasbro," they would say. *Siiiigh*

BUT. At least it's highly unlikely that Rooster Teeth would send a C&D over a fangame like this!
