MODERATORS
I worked with some of them via another company and we had a few parties, half the team are hardcore marxists and the other half are checked out libs.
So like hexbear and the federated libs
Yeah somewhat. I get the impression that the half of the company that is not really that literate about the topics is fairly easy to pull in materialist directions because the goal is simulation in most of their games and that obviously has a materialist basis.
Most of my interaction other than parties and exhibitions/lan events was through the CMs, they were good people which is not something I can say about many of my experiences with videogame companies.
It's a niche entertainment product with very long dev support kept afloat by frequent paid updates. I don't know if it's necessarily predatory.
something something no ethical consumption
but really it's probably just good writers & producers getting creative license but the money side of the house getting to make the printer go brrr
I feel like the developers and marketing/sales teams are on opposite sides of the buildings and not allowed to interact.
That's most game companies though.
compared to most game developers they are decent
