imo if you have the thought: "what kind of politics am I encouraging with this video game purchase???" then you have too much politics in your daily life. You should buy or not buy video games based on whether you think they will be fun.

Not that I want him to make rash judgements, but how many episodes did it take him to realize this?

Like with Andromeda, he's been very dismissive of criticism, handwaving much of it away as manufactured hate.

It's because the game tickles his fancy while a lot of the people griping about the game either haven't played it, hate the survival/craft genre in general or are talking out of their rear end

I poop out little brown bags everywhere I go, especially on people's doorsteps. It's pretty cool to come across someone's place while roaming the wilderness. I wish I had seen that base one guy had integrated into the monorail station, what a cool and tight design.
I wonder if there's a plan to restore the monorail as part of some vault 76ers rebuild society arc. It seems like a pretty big set piece that runs along a good chunk of the map.
lol if you think this game will be here in a month/who paid you, corporate bootlicker/they'll sell train tickets for $10 a pop/etc. etc.

Video games are toys, everyone. You’re arguing over whether your dildo is red or blue. Now that I got the last word let’s move on from the topic I brought up again instead of rightfully ignoring it.

Gonna be honest, independent of any argument about ethical consumption and whatever, I'd rather not deal with creepy chud poo poo in the writing of games I want to play. So asking if the text heavy rpg from an unknown Russian dev has hosed up weirdo politics seems pretty reasonable. Laughing at that poo poo is fun sometimes but I'd still rather not have the later works of Kevin Sorbo sprung on me without warning when I just want to play a game.

I’m fine if games contain politics, even if I disagree with them, just don’t be a dumbass and insert them clumsily in a nonsensical way.

If you're the kind of person who asks if a weird, cobbled together euroslav/ruskie game has things in it that will make you mad, the answer is probably yes. The question answers itself honestly

I mean there's politics and there's being personally insulting/attacking/dehumanising people I care about. The latter is shockingly not something I seek out for entertainment.

Like I play and enjoy plenty of poo poo I consider to have racist/sexist poo poo in them. Sometimes quite a bit. But there's a point where it's just not worth putting up with.

No one said that.

Someone asked if the game had any offputting bigotry, someone who hadn't played it posted some of the promo shots having a joke sbout "assuming labels" and then everyone jumped down OP's throat.

Then you actually finally answered the original question of whether the game was good. So hey thanks for that.
