I see the incels have all arrived to discuss the shame of woke society in...eurogamers article about this.

it's not like the gameing-press has much credibility either though with al their 9/10 for everything.

Considering they routinely get death threats the moment they dare suggesting some franchise or other deserve less than 10... Fandom really is ruining everything.

For some bizarre reason this one moderately successful game has always been some kind of culture war lightning rod.

Yeah but they have been doing that for decades. Hell for a larger period of time the supposed gaming press was just propaganda arms for publishers in a very literal sense as they were the same entities.

Wasn't the first game a bit of a champion of the "anti-woke" camp? What's with it juvenile idealised depiction of the middle ages, all those "eyes opened" folks loved it for being "realistic".

Also the lead developer was associated with Gamergate and ranted about SJWs.

That's why I stayed away.

Something like that? But yet it had a female campaign and included the steppe nomads who fought with the Hungarians. So not exactly white washed or anything.

Ah ok. I didn't know that.

That explains why it is such a lightning rod.

Really? I never knew this. And sort of regret spending on their Kickstarter.

Oof, also wasn't aware of it.

[garbon]

I don't recall exactly what I knew but I was generally aware as I recall thinking I'd never buy this game giving statements from its creator.

Some have moral backbone, some go to Gdansk and get shitfaced and sleep with all and everything. Like Walt Whitman probably did not say, we contain multitudes.

The production of games these days seem to be more like authoritarian leaders whipping the sweatshop into fashion than the fun it seemed to be back when I first started playing computer games and ordered them by letter from the UK.

I've read articles about how Bethesda treat people, I've met and talked to people who were just suddenly made redundant at software companies.

This is the price you pay for not unionising, tech people!
