This is no different than that one site assigning a dildo reviewer to review Hogwarts.

If the guy wants to write a political column about it then have at it, but if he personally is unable to "divorce" real life shit from the satirical messaging in the game then he shouldn't be reviewing it. Most folks don't read reviews for political takes.

If anything I loved how they trolled a microsoft announcement in their first trailer




Why wouldn't a dev have satire that goes against their publishing house? Microsoft can have a laugh too ffs.

Have very little faith in Obsidian after Avowed but I still have Game Pass for another two months so I'll be giving it a shot against my better judgment
