I *think* I know what you (and others) mean but specific words are important in this discussion about “exclusivity”, so I don’t make assumptions.

This is demonstrably false.

maybe i missed it, but does the writer explain why the word colony is troublesome?

“If the game is locked to a single platform on PC.”

Nobody who is familiar with this genre would expect this sort of reaction.

I want to play this but I hate shooting on controllers and don’t want provide epic with my credit card info (Really, I just want my games library all in one place).

Maybe I’ll feel differently after I play the game (which I plan to), but I finish the review thinking I’d have liked to have heard more about the game mechanics and less about the author’s personal political philosophy.

I’m glad to hear the game seems to grasp the concept of nuance. So many “what will you do?” game decisions always end up being binary between acting like Jesus, or being Skeletor Hitler.

exism and racism don’t meaningfully exist even though race does; many of the people you meet across classes are black and brown.

I really hope this sells well. This type of game (single player, story-driven, with tons of options for character customization and playstyle) seems to be coming along more rarely these days amidst the annualized titles, battle royals, and looter shooters built around microtransactions, paid DLC and grinding.

Dude, we all moved on to attacking Blizzard now.

It’s odd that you call the similarity to Fallout the elephant in the room. The entire reason I’ve been hype as fuck about this game for months is that I fully expect it to be New Vegas in space. There may be an elephant in the room, but I'm only in the room because I want to hang out with the elephant. 

what’s the point of having democracy, if political leaders are selected based on their ‘likeability’?

Thankfully the judge told Trump to go pound rocks and she did it in glorious fashion. Trump’s counsel also wanted the names of all the Nevada poll workers to be publicly released and the judge had an epic smackdown to that request too.

You made the wrong choice. You rightly feel bad about it, and you’re trying to justify it by getting feedback here. The feedback is: You were heartless and cruel, not a savior of democracy.

Or ‘except’ in the place of ‘accept.’ I’ve noticed a change in the last five years where people are spelling common words somewhat phonetically which is just weird and sad because how in the world did ‘could’ve’ and ‘could have’ turn into ‘could of.’ Seriously, WTF?!

I honestly don’t mind in that at least they’re not using ‘defiantly’ which drives me up the walls. My standards have lowered considerably because I get a little excited when someone replies to me with ‘lose’ instead of ‘loose.’

I know! For me, it was the weird scattershot approach to capitalization. Like, they would get four words into a sentence and think, “Dang, I haven’t capitalized a word in a while, better get that in while I can.”
