Don't care. Who's this guy? Not enough brain cells to figure it out. Meh.

[TurboTired]

I really hope I don't have to deal with any modern-day politics and ideologies in this game.
Please let this game actually bring back my fond memories of the 90's and simpler times.

Damn i didn't know the guy Peterson but reading few articles and all he seems like a real toxic and mentally unstable man, it was painful to read so much stupidity in a few time.

It's pretty bad. He gets ripped to shreds by scientists when he starts referencing actual scientific subjects. But, hey, he's a charlatan, that's what they do.

If you want a general breakdown of why he sucks, here's a fun video that hits many of the points:

Be warned, the title is...misleading. To say the least.

As a leftist I'll even say, who cares? As long as the games good it doesn't matter.

[ibrand]

Ehm, thoughtcrimeenforcing much?
Not a huge Peterson fan, but I respect him a lot.
This game and that person have nothing to do with each other though, so take this attempted smearing back to your batcave or whatevs. Cheers.

Messaggio originale di ZeppSWE:

awesome! :D (I mean; who doesn't support Mr. J.P.?)

No matter how good a person is, they'll always have haters, unfortunately.

[cANe]

Great news! Was on the fence but now I will totally buy the game

[Reyson Fox]

Bought!

Couldn't care less about who/what a game dev supports. I'm here for the game.

Look man, I'm a pretty liberal left leaning fella, but ultimately if we stopped enjoying things that were made by people with disagree with then we'd never enjoy anything. Peterson has some cringe takes, but ultimately in a world where there's so many more terrible things going on.

Some boomer's opinions and some random dev's like of said boomers opinions doesn't really matter in the grand scope of the things or in context of this video game.

If i were to make a video game, I would want everyone to enjoy it, even the most conservative fella as I want my art to be enjoyed for what it is, not weighed down by my own personal politics or anyone else's really unless it serves to enrich the game itself.

As a fellow leftist I agree. Kinda tired of these weirdos acting like every leftist should automatically explode because some right winger has some takes or someone supports someone slightly conservative.

[welly321]

the left only cares about people supporting right wing stuff (or opposing left wing stuff) if they DONT like or care about their stuff, like JK Rowling. In that case, you are free to hate her. But since they actually want to play this game, Its all "Who cares?" . I love how hypocritical they all are.

In JK Rowling's case, they were literally site wide boycotts of the game in the left game sites like resetera. For this game, it doesnt matter. And all JK Rowling did was fight for Biological woman's rights. Something that 90% of Americans agree with. Thats the left for you.

[Weltall8000]

Some people don't have principles. If it actually were that they supported Peterson and include that in their games, as was suggested by OP, I wouldn't buy their games.

But I heard this and looked into it. I am satisfied both by looking at the section of The Messenger in question and a direct response to them being questioned on it elsewhere, that this isn't the case. Quite the opposite even.

Rowling, isn't "merely defending biological women," she is a TERF that is crusading against trans people. One can fight for biological women while not cutting down the trans community. On the subject of boycotts and her, it wasn't too much loss for me to cut her out when the news broke on all that, I think she's a terrible writer. I would have liked to play Hogwart's Legacy, it does legit look good, and has little involvement from her as I understand it. However, she still makes money off of it. So, pass from me.

Obviously, some things are harder to cut than others and it's fair to have a line somewhere. Personally, I am unimpressed by the boundaries some have, but I'm not perfect/with infinite alternative options either.

"The left" isn't monolithic, mind.
