i also don't understand how that frenchie fuck somehow made the only major video game about the rich history of the American civil rights movement (by just ripping it off) while also removing all black people and actual historical context from the plot by making them robots.
Like wtf first of all, but also, step the fuck up Amerikkkan game devs & publishers. Enough with the fortnite skins and Minecraft mods. Grow some primary sex characterics and tackle that shit already. There's so many good stories you can tell there and the inevitable political controversy will just drive sales. Stop being racist cowards
That's just standard AAA operating procedure. No politics except the neoliberal consensus, anti-communism and fellating the American military

RELIGIOUSLY UNAFFILIATED PARKOUR NINJAS WHO FIGHT FOR CONTROL OVER ANCIENT ALIEN MCGUFFINSSomeone explained to me once that this sort of stuff isn't made to actually explore things like the civil rights movement, but are made to make white people pat themselves on the back for "caring" so much about civil rights without actually needing to confront anything shocking or worrying about society.
