1. Eh, I was fine with Vulcans as a whole (and being a female Vulcan) all the up until ENT wrecked their portrayal. Or "added depth", I guess you can call it. *eyeroll* And definitely not in the JJ-verse. *eyerollx2*
Of course, being an android is much more of a special snowflake. *sideeyes plot bunny*
6. But TOS could also afford much better caliber writers, since even a shoe string TV budget is still more than MMO budgets go. Also, they can afford to focus on the writing/plot, whereas games need to put mechanics and stuff as the to priority.
7. I don't think GW2 has a larger base than STO. There are a lot of people who are in STO for the brand name, especially since there's not many sources of post-Nemesis Trek anymore. Also, STO is on both PC and console, so there's that. It's also easier to get people into the game, because you can just the brand name is a hook, whereas with GW2 the word of mouth is among just the gamer community.
