    I like the authors take, at the end.

    Fair enough, I suppose. Cain's still been responsible for some of my favourite games even if he doesn't share my read of them. Plus, if there's one thing the Marx-adjacent among us don't need help with, it's reading anti-capitalism into literally everything

    Lol I've been hit!

      Roland Barthes stays winning. Authorial intent is bullshit and worthless when it comes to interpretation and criticism. One can read a piece of media in its context, but one can choose to ignore the author and interpret the content differently.
