Dragon Ball was using capsules to store things long before Pokemon did. And Dragon Ball Z, which ended in Japan in '96 had already done storing 'creatures in capsules. Saibamen for one. And after the Saiyan saga Bulma puts her dead friends in coffin capsules.

So Akira Toriyama did it before Pokemon.

This is what everyone wanted! Another “as a service” game! Oh, and look, a store front!

and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”

Would those “players” be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to “collab” with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought “Lets do that!”.
