Step 1: disassociate the creator from the media. Like, "Oh! Dandy's world? You mean that game that ONLY had a team with NO lead developer? It must have been so hard for them to do that by themselves." GASLIGHT YOURSELF.

Step 2: start obsessing over any or every ship, it'll help numb the pain.

Step 3: Have any merch? Any at all? Well good! You've actually made them yourself, and they were not made by anyone else. GASLIGHT YOURSELF YET AGAIN.
