Yep. The game review websites all got taken over by “journalists” who really are there to use their position for personal political agendas. And while everyone has known this for a while, I think the vicious attacks by social justice activists against this game have finally triggered gamers into mass rejection of the institutions that have been captured and corrupted. The translation thing was especially egregious. It was clearly a machine translation, but they denied that it was, despite there being huge flaws in it. My take is that they purposely used an inaccurate translation to manufacture a narrative that matched what they wanted.

To me, it's an incredible case of projection that people are so accusing of creating a fictional universe. These takes are so bitter, so distorted, so slanted, so derisive. > The game review websites all got taken over by “journalists” who really are there to use their position for personal political agendas. I feel like I'm not living on the same planet as anyone who would straight facedly make such bold, completely unnuanced, in my opinion absurd statements. I cannot stress enough how badly folks should avoid following these dark paths, reducing the whole world around you to a single dark angry point of bitterness, conspiratorial thinking that the whole universe has been bent against good. Look, I love gnosticism as an idea, that the archons create prisons around us and only gnosis can help us break the spheres of control around us, but this, to me, is putting your mind in a cage of thought and thinking where you are desperate to believe in vast alignment of the universe against you. Don't do this shit to yourself, don't do it to others.
