From the article:

“Play is an integral part of human evolution and learning,” she says, mentioning that this is a topic she covers in her book. “Gaming, being the most refined form of play in our time, has much to offer. Instead of focusing on what gaming is not, it’s more effective to showcase its true essence. The industry’s effort to create a more diverse range of games, beyond merely violent and intense ones, will help showcase the broad spectrum of gaming as an expression of creativity.”

    Sorry, you’re correct- it’s not the reviews, but the comments on any announcement made by the devs that I was remembering.

    The lack of mouse icon next to their names means those Steam accounts don’t own the game.

      I wonder how many of them are just bots tbh

      Cause the game is pretty inherently political. The setting is a farcical fascist govt…

        It’s a coordinated effort to make those bigoted assholes seem to be a larger number than they actually are. And we can blame Steve Bannon for that.

      I mean on the plusside, you always know that whenever anybody uses the word “woke” as if it were a real word, you can immediately add them to the blocklist or ban them. Nothing they can add has any value any more.
