    Always read the quotes to see what was actually said. Headlines are editorial content and tend to be provocative or overly simplified. And now IGN editorial in the form of an animated trailer:https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1227925637043609600 …

        It's quite a stunning reversal of what you said: What I got from your talk was that you wanted games with a message that was crafted from designers which marketing couldn't interfere with?

        Yes. If a game tackles politics (or: weighty social issues), it should come from the heart of designers through the game, and not from marketing departments seeking to profit from division.

        I've read every quote I could find. And I'm still very confused about the point about "marketing departments." Do you have an example of a game where a marketing department got involved and forced politics on a game? If you don't want to name names, give a similar hypothetical.

        Well, I can think of the obvious example of the team marketing Wolfenstein 2, a game the pushed the narrative "Nazi's = Bad", decided to go with an overt "Nazi's = Bad" marketing campaign, rather than a more balanced "Good People on Both Sides" message.

        The article is a horrible interpretation of something that is a known best practice in business. Politics are divisive. Alienating your consumer base by taking a public position on a divisive issue is bad business. Has nothing to do with a person's personal beliefs.

        being OK with the establishment and status quo is also a political position.

        Even the quotes can be misleading if they do not contain the context surrounding them.

        Yeah. This is complete and utter bait. They either misinterpreted you and didn't ask for clarification, or simply ran with it knowing it was wrong.
