World of Warships announced an upcoming feature in which they partner up with a japanese anime called Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- to optionally show players their warships in an anime look. So if you like anime or that specific anime series, you can select to have your ships look like in that anime, with neon runes all over them, and a rather futuristic look. If you don't like that, you can keep the historical World War II look. But the kicker is that you'll see everybody else's ships in the look that *you* chose. The historical players will only see historical ships, the anime players will only see anime ships. The exactly same battle scene will look very different to two players having chosen a different look. And nobody sees an ugly mix of different styles.

I find that concept rather interesting, at it could be applied to lots of other multiplayer games. I frequently hear discussions where some people like or dislike the art style of a specific game. Why not make the art style a matter of player choice? Of course that would have limitations, as you can only change the "skins" or texture, it would cost too much if the animations would change. But it could also solve some political problems, like the endless discussions between people who rather like scantily dressed girls in their games and those people who find that offensive. Why not offer everybody the look he wants?
