Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
Psychopaths are noted for generally lacking a conscience, getting enjoyment from various forms of destruction, and an inability to learn from their mistakes.
Satire is a form of humor that ridicules aspects of real-world society and culture, usually making a serious but indirect point about the subject that the player is allowed to infer. Games such as Metal Gear, EarthBound, Grand Theft Auto, and Fallout, for example, satirize American culture.
Long-running franchises often end up in the hands of different studios over the years, but a direct sequel by an entirely different company is somewhat rarer.
So you made a fighting game, and the direct sequel is a hack 'n' slash action game? Wait, what?
No point in gathering coins, gold, gil, money, or whatever if you can't buy anything with it.
