@faridmon: i was asked to describe a show that i watched 3 episodes of so i didn’t know about the controversies. i was just here to talk about the game.
Everything about the actual game itself here seems really fun, but I'm not going to give the developers any of my money to play it. And that's a shame, because I had a ton of fun with early Chivalry, and this sure seems like a way better version of that.
I'm impartial toward the controversy over statements about a toggle switch for player skins for people of different races. For me it's the fact they pretty much refuse to take moderation seriously because they're too afraid of upsetting the conservative crowd that has latched onto this game as a cultural signifier. I'm not going to give money to people too cowardly to do the right thing.
I'm really hoping they change their outlook on the moderation front because it really effects how much longer I'm going to be able to support them, because it's a game I truly enjoy and would be glad to support for a long time. You can't control what people will like your game, but you can somewhat control the environment in which people playing have to experience.
