I can see the devs having no clue about the alternative meaning, but a game about gassing rodents called "Infestation 88" is a terrible look. I'm glad the devs changed the name right away.

Yea, if they say "we didnt know what that insinuated", and there are no other dog whistles, I'm happy that they responded so well and quickly!

I think just changing it to "Infestation 1988" would have also been enough...

Though, "infestation 88" a game about killing nazis, would also work!

Uh-oh.

... Those aren't the devs or discord mods, they're literally random people that just joined their server.
