The remake no one asked for
And no one wants. Seriously, what a weird thing to do. Why not just play a new spin like Death Road to Canada or even Organ Trail?

I mean no one asked you for your opinion, so here we are, with something useless.

I was going to buy it until I read the "respectful representation" section. I can't believe people pay shakedown consultants to tell them how to be decent. Give them you own money and not mine.

I must admit I was pretty interested in this, I mean id be nice to see this classic with a new coat of paint... Until I read the section you pointed out.

Respectful Representation
• For the first time, the game features Native American playable characters and stories, celebrating the history and cultures of the peoples who first lived on this land and still live here today.
• Thorough research and multiple academic consultants were involved in this game’s production to ensure accuracy and respectful representation of all peoples depicted in the game.... Gag :blight:

Thanks, but no thanks fam. I'm fed up with being force fed this crap. I'll stick with the original.
So your deciding factor on to buy this doesn't have to do if the game is fun to play but some random ♥♥♥♥ they wrote about the game? There's probably hundreds of games i would of never tried if such a small issue prevented me from buying because game companies have done much worse. Remember Gambling with loot boxes? Yeah me either because i don't give a ♥♥♥♥ i just buy what is fun to play.

Because it's classic. Yukon Trail was even better.

Yikes, thanks for bringing it out, I had my doubts from the trailer on the store page, glad I came here.
Game ignored.

Cheers!

If such a small thing made you not buy it then you were never going to buy it in the first place.

Perhaps, or perhaps he was on the fence on wether or not to get it, basically on the verge of flipping a coin, and that one small thing is what tipped the balance against the game.

This is what happened with Expeditions: Rome for me, The Twitch drops tipped it from a "I'll buy it when I get paid", to an "I'll find something else to spend that money on".

He is mentioning a thing that doesn't even have anything to do with gameplay. If my standards were that high there would be hardly a game in my library because no game is 100% perfect. The least we can do is wait for gameplay to come out before making the decision then we can have a bone to pick.

Is there actually new content ? Otherwise might as well keep playing any other version.

My point is, there are times\games that you sometimes have all intentions to purchase, but a singular statement or action sours your view of the entire thing to the point you decide to not do so.

Perfect example: Battlefield 5, saying majority of their player base is "uneducated", for finding women running around in the front line with a fully functional prostetic limb (we can hardly create that in modern day, let alone 194#...) to be ahistoric...


If someone has a lot of exposure to, or is constantly pushed socio-political messaging that's been going on for the last 8 years, I can absolutely see a singular statement like that make them go from "I'll buy the game", to "I'll spend my money elsewhere".

It's a good game, played a bunch on my iPad. It's worth paying for cuz it was the only game I regularly played with my Apple Arcade sub which is now canceled. Idgaf if it's wokesville or whatever cuz it's fun.
