User blog comment:A.Darkbloom/Institute of War/Summoners/etc no longer being canon/@comment-6000413-20140909143240

As many have said: I never liked the summoning thing too much, but the institute itself, the matches to decide the faith of the world and so on I liked enough and their removal takes away a lot of the conistency of the game.

Enemies could fight together because they are copies of the originals or because they have some sort of common goal and the same goes for friends.You could even have Summoners summon copies of the originals and fight against them, if the institute went rogue.

All-in-all it feels like a lazy decision.
