:I'd like to argue that ''Infinity'' is canon. All the reasons for Legacy not being canon are due to the infinite possibilities of character combinations going into different settings and not being able to narrow down the events. As well as fitting in with the 4 criteria of being canon, each story has a finite happening, not acknowledging the player "moving gems about". I don't see why this can't be in the DWU.

Validity
When it comes to invalidity, this game is currently "guilty until proven innocent" due to the rulings on Legacy in Thread:161867 and Thread:186659. That said, I'd be interested in seeing an inclusion debate about Infinity, since (a) it was explicitly described by the BBC as canon, and (b) the previous rulings on Legacy completely failed to take into account the universally-recognised fundamental difference between story and gameplay. I'm not currently interested in starting such a debate myself, but let this post be a little helper for anyone who eventually decides to do so. – N8 ☎ 13:41, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- I'd like to argue that Infinity is canon. All the reasons for Legacy not being canon are due to the infinite possibilities of character combinations going into different settings and not being able to narrow down the events. As well as fitting in with the 4 criteria of being canon, each story has a finite happening, not acknowledging the player "moving gems about". I don't see why this can't be in the DWU.
