    I found something actually bad. They removed the Soviet Announcer deeper-sadness

    Nothing in this was bad or warranted removing, corny and kinda shit yeah but ehh I don't think you can say this needed removed. The only reason I can see for this removal is that Mike Z voiced it and the staff probably all hate his guts.

      My only other thought is, could be Ukraine-Booster brain rot ("Russia Bad"), or both-sides-ist "anti-extremism", since they're also removing fash elements.

      Based on other trends in changes by the company, I think it was for being Mike Z. I really enjoyed the voice, it wasn't even particularly "soviet" but just "drunk Russian". I think it's only "Soviet" because Mike and some others have a very pop-history WW2 fetish.
