So excited for this game but definitely waiting a bit for things to get straightened out.

As a fellow spare time dev who dreams of having that much success, I feel your pain, and also want to wish you a heartfelt congratulations. That's a massive achievement! I hope you have success with it whenever you launch. πŸ‘

This article perfectly sums up the issues with this way of writing. Unfortunately people often don't acknowledge the nuance there, and will jump down this reviewer's throat for the take I imagine.

It's icing on the cake that apparently there was even an in-lore term for something like a trans character of this species that they didn't use. That makes it seem like they didn't even study their own lore well enough. Never what you want to be thinking about a writing team. 🫀

Can't wait to see the third act where alucard gets stun locked by gold Medusa heads in the clocktower

I can't speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.

Funny how the key stakeholders are never on the chopping block, huh?

Wow, that letter to employees was even soulless by corporate non-apology standards.

Right, that's the article that doesn't explain why they're doing it.

Why are they doing it? Legal troubles? I didn't see any explanation in the article.

Now I need to find a let's play for this...
