How do you top a great game? How do you undo the process of catharsis that occurs at the end of the game so you are challenged once more into becoming a fragmented Art Cop sorry cop Communnard.
They would have been told to expand the appeal, dumb down the rhetoric, and trick the masses into buying-in. They would have ultimately sold out no matter what.

I think the Psyche system would have been the only thing worth keeping. You have so much potential with a stat system focused on ideas and aspects of a person's psychology and body. But the problem is that people would not be able to let go of HBD and Kim (with good reason, they are awesome characters) but the pressure was there to taint the entire creative endeavor from the very beginning by appealing to your average nerd.
Idk, man. That's like saying you can't release another FF game after VI, because it won't contain Kefka.
