Or, alternatively, they’ll ruin the earth’s climate in their selfishness and greed and either find a way to leave the planet and abandon the plebs to die, or more likely, die right alongside us as the climate collapses and ecological disaster wipes out the human race.

Either way, greed ends up destroying us all.

Oh no

This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a removedfit about Elden Ring because it didn’t have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

It’s like these developers think that because they’re painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Just because people are having fun calling out the tagline (or other memorable aspect) of a game doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t grasped the game’s political undertones. That’s why it’s a bit unfair to assume the politics just flew over their heads just because they’re not spending 24/7 talking about nothing but the politics of the game. People are allowed to have fun sometimes too lol.

The example with Call of Duty is especially apt though, with the fans of that franchise blatantly lying to themselves about whether or not it’s a “political game”. Even the devs are getting in on it. There’s a video I watched once that goes into detail about Infinity Ward promoting the false image of their games being “unpolitical”. It’s a great video, I’d recommend giving it a watch.

Counterpoint: it’s a fun game with a memorable tagline and people are just having fun repeating this tagline to each other instead of thinking of the setting’s depressing implications.

To be clear, I do agree with all of this. Deep Rock Galactic is a very shitty company. It’s just that the people who play the game might already realize that.

Clearly it means OP is a hog and he’s angry somebody washed him.

NOOOOO

I can’t imagine being so obsessed with race politics as to think that purely technical terms like “white list” and “black list”, which have never had any connection to race relations whatsoever, are somehow non-inclusive.
