oh...

And here I thought the game looked really awesome. :\ If the game is anything like that then it can fuck off.

It does really look awesome. I imagine if this guy was still how he was and none of his GG shit was part of the game narrative, far more people would be willing to separate the art and the artist so to speak.

However, the game seems to have his beliefs as a core of the story and narrative, which draws quite a line for many more of us.

How we felt before and after finding out are two different feelings. I know which feeling wins for me...nope

Yeah, a lot of the time it's not really such a black and white decision because i'm pretty sure every one of us enjoys something created by a total asshole / evil exploitative corporation - maybe we don't know about it, maybe we do - and it's not really realistic to go "100% clean" in today's society.

The "should art be judged simply by its own merits or also by its creator" debate can be tricky.

However, everything about this game feels like it's doubling down on the bullshit, so it makes it an easier decision in some ways.

On the other hand, people can change and deserve the chance to apologize for mistakes they made. Now, whether that comes from an honest place or just damage control is the tricky part.
 
An Advance War clone made by the guys who made Stardew Valley?

Someone tell Dan

Chucklefish is just the publisher I think

We make decisions based around our knowledge. When we gain more knowledge about something we might change our decision making.
 
Every time I think about Shwordor I feel like the game tricked me into liking it.

Edit :Fuck me, this isn't real
This can't be real
