Clever article. But unfortunately I feel Patrick is too much of a fan of Facebook. This isn't all about the Kickstarter backlash at all. Most people would be happy if they were bought by a mainstream company to help them progress to market faster. It's mainly Facebook and Zuckerberg people have issues with.

There's a strong moral distrust in Facebook. It's not tangible. It cannot be logically explained.

The closest I can come to explain it is - it's like a natural human instinct. Detecting an imbalance in the world. This 'we take everything' mentality. Swallowing up everyones personal information, their interactions with one anothers and their data. And now clearly key companies that gain public interest in technology. Facebook IS an actual Skynet of our time. Sneaking it's way in as a "normalized social commodity".

DO NOT TRUST Facebook.

@hassun: Well personally I'm quite happy they turned down the gore for the multiplayer. I might feel differently about the single player being censored, as to me that's telling a gritty story and requires it to paint a shocking and emotional picture of survival.

But the multiplayer for me is more like a chess game. It's more about the mechanics and strategy of the situation. A "sport" mode if you like. You could strip all of the visuals away and have flat colours - I would still enjoy it.

The repetition of seeing such gore in a sport mode without a full-on story to contextualise it isn't healthy in my opinion.
