It really is easy. You see a game you like and you play it instead of a game you don't like. Just like that. Videogames are art and if the artists want to have politics in their games, they absolutely should put them in there because it is their project. If it then is successful that means that your preferences are a minority concern. |
It’s clearly a gray area. You grew up playing a franchise and the latest one injects politics into it. It’s hard to drop the franchise you love so much....most just keep playing for the parts they like while complaining about the parts they don’t. You thinking one can just drop it out of principle and not bat an eye isn’t a likely scenario.
A games success depends on it’s gameplay end of the day. The heavy handed political message likely isn’t a deal breaker in itself. Fans have every right to complain about that.
