For the foreseeable future it's just as important to me, whether it is always in the eyes of 20th Century Studios or Disney's not my concern, things change I am okay with that reality.
1. Alex White's masterpieces will always be just that, canon or non-canon to the continuity, although I do like the take on the universe being built by Alien Isolation, Cold Forge, Into Charybdis, The RPG, and Phalanx.
2. If Plagiarus Linesteres becomes Plagiarus Preapotens down the line because David's in fact the creator of the original Alien it is fine with me.
3. It's just as Alien to me, if an artificial intelligence created it, perhaps even more so.
