I am a big TLOU2 enjoyer in spite of all the neoliberal identity politics they crammed into it which undermined a lot of what they were trying to do by distracting from the story and alienating normies and fans of the first game, so I might enjoy these too if I thought they were good enough to try them. In fact, I might pirate the first flick so I can in all likelihood get bored of it immediately.

Are you stuck in 2014 I half expected you to blame Sarkeesian for this midway through.

And the saddest part is you're a fucking neoliberal yourself you don't even know what the word means outside of the 4chan culture war memes

I'm sorry but this just sounds incredibly childish while you're trying to be condescending. Also, I am not a neoliberal, that is not a very nice thing for you to have said to me. You are the neoliberal, Sticky.

What victimisation? I have to bite. Like adding tedious, grating, transparent identity politics designed to appeal to woke middle class white liberals is white replacement or something? And not just more agonising woke capitalism? Give me a break. Go automate a 'low-skilled' worker out of a job or whatever it is you do. You probably talk for a living.

No, games that heavily feature politics can be great when they're handled properly. Rockstar's games up until RDR2 were like this. Same with Disco Elysium.
