17 hours agoYeah, that’s not the best example. I think the ac-130 mission is a much better example because I don’t remember it getting a lot of controversy despite it being pretty non-chalant about you decimating the ground forces like it was just another day in the office (or rather in the air). It’s the ultimate “dehumanize the enemy” mission because you could replace the targets with pretty much anyone and the mission would play exactly the same.
I always felt iffy about their pro-XYZ stance as well. I’m not against bringing awareness to bullying or burnout or supporting marginalized groups, but it feels so disingenuous when your game (Destiny) is obviously predatory. I guess getting people addicted and organizing their lives after the game is not something to oppose.
