Online spaces/games as a sort of third place, maybe better called fourth? Somewhere outside the local scope that a third place is more geared toward.

I won't lie. I'm a bit hyped they are rebuilding the game with UE5, but it seems like not all skins will crossover. That really hurts considered how many skins I own in SMITE now.
Guess I'll wait and see how this plays out.
"If you played SMITE, your Divine Legacy is waiting for you in SMITE 2. You’ll have access to amazing cross-gen skins, badges and Legacy Gems after you link your SMITE account. "
