Rest in piss until you get a better publisher. Games are art. They are FOR making statements.

MODERATORS
I am sure that many people use games to make statements, but not all devs think like that. Many of them just think "it would be cool to play/develop a game like this" without thinking about any kind of statement they will be making.
And thats great if you're making Hello Kitty Island Adventure. These guys based their game off the movie Starship Troopers, not even the book that kinda idealized the military. But the one that made a statement about fascism. Seems to me the publisher had a slight disconnect with the actual developers there.
i’ll never give a penny to any company that bemoans “woke culture”. bunch of whiney babies, go fuck yourself
The previous installment had some good bones but they took their sweet time getting it to where it needed to be after release.
Hopefully the polish they added along the way is present at release in this one.
I can respect them going back and improving the original game, but it still didn't click with me, so I'm unlikely to try the sequel.
Ok, but does this one have Body Type or Male/Female, that's the most important question.
I hate that I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not
The CI Games CEO is fighting on the front lines of the culture war against the woke mind virus, and you think I'm joking about this?
Using the term "woke mind virus" is strong evidence of a mind virus
Being such an obvious troll is just as pathetic as actually thinking that. No matter how you turn it, you're a pathetic piece of shit.
What?
