So, what does this mean ?
I still can’t completely get my head wrapped around the basic premise of this game.
Yes, I understand the idea of a temporal anomaly causing mass chaos. I understand beings from multiple time frames being brought into the mess, by Q or the anomaly I am not sure, as the game leads to either conclusion at times.
There are many questions raised, though. Are events in the original timeline undone when characters are taken from their own era ? If the Borg Queen is brought into the temporal mess, do the events in Voyager’s Endgame never happen ? Or since Carol Marcus and Wrathful Khan are now here, does Spock no longer die ? If the entire TNG cast is not in their own timeline, are the Borg not stopped ? And if Picard is in the crisis, not on the Enterprise during the events of both worlds, does that mean Locutus was never created ? And, speaking of Picard, if a younger version of him is brought through the anomaly, how can the Enterprise-E version be here or there ? Wouldn’t his absence from the prime timeline continue until he was returned home ? How can multiple copies of the exact same character “card “ exist simultaneously?
The game itself uses the word “copies”. Does that mean that basically replicas are brought through the vortex while originals remain to allow history to unfold as usual ? Since Recovering Spock and the Bounty are here, who will save the whales ? And from where do all of these copies come ? Unless they are truly copies, things make little sense.
I understand that STT is just a game, and that Star Trek is fiction. However, I am confused by apparent plot holes, and am a huge fan of the canon. I know that everything cannot be wrapped up in a bow, and I do enjoy the game. Am I the only one asking these questions ? I am obviously giving this too much thought, as it is 12:30 a.m.. If, however, anyone has been able to reconcile the game with what has been established, I would appreciate your input.

and now certain people get pulled from their timeline to this one. Time here moves at a much slower pace compared to the prime timeline and it is as though time has stopped there. When the character returns to their timeline, it will proceed from when they were taken like they never left.
So... they're truly copies.
There! Now it all makes sense.
*Paraphrasing*
"When it comes to temporal anomalies, I find it best not to think about them too much."
Very much these words, Ditto. Were anything of the sort of the game's concept to happen, I can only imagine a bleak looking galaxy looking bleaker: infighting, a state of constant war, peopke remembering things that didn't happen/have yet to happen/are happening/happened-but-did-not-after-all, you name it.
Of course, I am just speculating here. And again, don't think too much about it. It's too mind boggling to imagine how a Pah Wraith Cult Dukat's actions could be accepted by a Terok Nor (!) Dukat. For example.
“If you’re wondering how he eats or breathes or other science facts,
Repeat to yourself it’s just a show, I should really just relax..”
But like "Parallels", its happening everywhere.
But in THIS universe, *I'm* the awesome captain who is top billing cast of the TV show.
(And that is the most important part, and nothing else matters)
That’s heavy Ogre
But I see it as a Q playground.
Guys, this isn't a new concept in Star Trek. This game is basically just an expansion of this episode of TNG:
If you need to reconcile it, the "copies" are just from very similar timelines. Not actual copies, just not different enough to be able to see major differences.
So we just have to put Worf back in his Shuttle and the hole game is shutting down? Loved this Episode!
Maybe, just maybe, somtimes in the near future DB gives us another "Story-Bone" to make some things clear.

Haha, I love how Riker does his leg thing at the end of that scene.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.
