I miss when video games were just about providing a fun gameplay experience instead of pushing identity politics and forced messaging that nobody asked for.

There's an irony that Mixtape a fake nostalgia walking simulator is producing real nostalgia in the remaining game journalists from all the old Websites for back when they were relevant. "Remember when we could shill a game like Gone Home and the chumps would buy it? Those were the days."
 
Saw a vid from Legendary Drops earlier and something he said kinda irked me. He thinks the studio head from the guys making Lords of the Fallen gets "lost in the sauce" over the culture war shit. So. What? We should ignore the culture war? Dude. Ignoring the culture war is what literally got the gaming industry where it is in the first fucking place. You can't ignore this no matter how much you want to stick your head in the sand and make like you're Switzerland during WWII. They won't LET you ignore it. The Lords of the Fallen devs are legitimately fighting back. Bro's too stupid to realize this.

There's two ways Culture War impacts games that means it matters even if you hate politics and wish it didn't exist:

1. It ruins all or part of an otherwise good game. Even if it seems small, it's usually enough to taint the experience of playing a game.

2. It diverts money from being invested into actually good games to spend large amounts of money on garbage games that are really just welfare programs for the worst people you can find.

I'm glad the Lords of the Fallen studio head took the stand he did.
