And I supported these guys.
I know Harvey Smith and some of those guys working there are communist-like, but I hoped they would be intelligent enough to understand that they don't have the capability to attempt anything like this. It comes off as a carpenter trying to bake an 8 story wedding cake. They can't do it, it's not gonna work, and they do not have the understanding of economics or politics to superimpose anything credible in this discussion through a video game.
I know you probably won't even notice this in the game, but there is a clear difference between a creative trying to contextualize concepts or politics and allowing the user to abstract them (Bioshock-ish), and creatives forcing on you what they think is correct. This is the latter. I was frustrated that Dishonored and Deathloop struggled, but now I am sort of happy about it. I absolutely can not stand rednecks and simpletons trying to force me to listen to personal ideologies that are clearly not based on anything deep or professional or schooling but just hate and anger at shadows in the corner.
Fuck these guys. I hope Microsoft guts the studio now, there is no place for this in the industry. Racists and communists need to get removed from the industry.
