I'm not reading this thread at this time (I want to get done with the game first), but just to tag the thread and also to give a comment about politics in games, I think what's going on with games in general is the same that's going on with all pop culture, particularly Hollywood: the annoying need to lecture the audience.
Watch the third season of Designated Survivor on Netflix to get what I'm talking about. It's an example of a "lecture show" and it feels to me that the whole pop industry is going this way either more or less extreme.
It's not about being left-wing or right-wing, it's about those writers and directors thinking that everyone is an imbecile that needs to learn from their work what's right and wrong all the time. It feels like communistic propaganda: it's artificial, it's boring, it's even repressive somehow.
God bless You.
