I just finished Cronos: The New Dawn. It was phenomenal. I had read a few comments on Lemmy claiming it was anti-socialist, but I can’t say I agree. It’s definitely anti imperialist, anti military, and anti Soviet (it takes place in occupied Poland, after all) but I didn’t find it to be anti socialist or even anti communist.

My point is that people tend to arrive at these conclusions using a few scattered examples (usually something a character said within the setting) and then claim the game itself shares those specific political views.

It’s either something like that or very silly culture war nonsense that they yell about. Do they just not want women in games at all?

American military games are often straight up propaganda, though. There’s no denying that.

Should be in quotes.
Women & minorities created the gaming scene. Men couldn’t tolerate the Women hobby of gaming and video game programming. It was after the scene started making money, that capitalists invaded the scene. More accurate to replace “Gamers” here for “Tourists.”

I can understand being pissed at having a game destroyed by a shitty story because it’s just about how strong women are or whatever. But the whole Laufey drama was ridiculous. They got pissed just because she’s a female protagonist. There was nothing else to it.
