Video games should always focus on story, gameplay and escape.
Never political statements.
It's like the old saying, "whenever you meet someone new never talk about politics or religion."
English

Why would you not discuss that with them? Those two things are intrinsic to you as a person, so why waste time with someone when you may but heads eventually? In addition to that, trans awareness is not political. Human rights are not a political standpoint.

“Should always focus on the story.” damn guys one pop up ruined my experince

Video games almost always have political aspects to them.

[quote]Video games almost always have political aspects to them.[/quote] That is just some folk's interpretation of a game. Most companies know not to bring politics into videogames. Because they know that rubbish won't sell.

Bruh come on. Games like fallout and mass effect have blatant political viewpoints. Do you think political messages are only "Vote for this candidate" and who's running for president?

Edited by El Mebaj: 12/8/2021 1:22:44 AMPolitics just simply come with humans. But it's one thing putting political systems/stories in a game, and another thing plastering current actual real world politics all over it with a clear agenda. Of course every game that has any sort of serious story is going to involve politics. But Fallout and Mass Effect absolutely do not discuss or include any [b]current[/b] politics that might divide people, they have a made up system and troubles of their own, to explain and tell a story. You cannot tell me that Mass Effect and Fallout was filled with the at-the-time political issues and themes when they were developed. Sure there might be [i]parodies[/i] of different political issues or events, but they sure as hell don't try to unironically force actual politics down your throat. (Except for that one time Manveer Heir had a say in anything in Andromeda.) It's one thing Bungie is virtue signaling left and right, but the fact that they are clearly cherrypicking what, who, and when they "support", is what's bullshit. They are always shouting "Inclusivity" but barely include anybody if it doesn't fit their narrative. If they would "support" everyone (within a rational limit/bracket), then I'd be like, aight, but the way they are doing it now, -blam!- 'em.

Yea... Problem is, lots of people think having a gay character is a political statement. Instead of ya know... A thing that happens.
-
The gay robot thing was a bit too much.

That super understated thing that was mostly in the lorebooks? About a Robot? In space where we've killed a Giant tapeworm A time rewriting robot A giant head that gave us a chainsword And a few billion year old god's? ...while a giant fish went around eating planets? In that setting you found a robot sleeping with Man way too much? Lol

I like this.

The subject of trans people isn’t inherently political. They are people. It’s political if you discuss the politics surrounding them. A splash screen isn’t that.
-
That's a stupid saying, always has been. If people are polar opposite on the political or religious scale I don't want to be friends.
-
The entire game is a political statement not everything is black and white.
-
Man, what an original statement to make.
