Splitgate 2 Director Refuses to Apologize for ‘Make FPS Great Again Hat’, Then Apologizes Anyway - IGN
Nah fuck the political implications, the message is %100 correct. The current FPS games don't give the same enjoyment as I used to get from the old MW3/CS:Source era, and I really enjoyed Splitgate 2 and truly think it can change up a lot of things in the FPS space.
I mean yeah but really no. The political implications are too big to ignore here. Especially given the event being in LA with all the shit going on. Also like as a particularly targeted person in this fascist administration, it really doesn't feel great for people to use fascist iconography to make a stupid joke!
Also like splitgate 2? Really? The game that during this announcement announced a battle royale mode? The most tired shooter mode since hero shooters? And the one that had $145 microtransactions on launch? This is the savior of fps gaming?
Nah
So this is a little off topic but is SG2 any good?
I was in love with splitgate 1 at launch then stopped kinda played off and on during the last season and put down the game after they announced they’d stopped. I played some of the closed betas and stuff just felt off, 1 felt like maps were designed with portals in mind offering sight lines and some risky areas if you were gonna shoot thru portals, but 2 felt like they made a pretty cross between a hero/ability plus arena shooter then slapped portals on it, and it just didn’t feel like splitgate to me.
Are you able to leave your house? People are going to wear shit and make jokes. There is no use getting hung up on things that are well out of your control.
The political implications were the point though. Or do you think he had no idea what he was doing? The "We didn't know it would be taken as a political statement" BS is just damage control
There are a million other ways to express that sentiment.
Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.
Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.
i will. thank you for your permission
I was instance banned for trying to reason that we should talk about policy rather than hats when talking about politics.
This wasn’t intended to be ban evasion as I do not intend to return. Goodbye beehaw people.
"I guess it wasn't a safe space for autistic people" is an insane takeaway from being temp banned for talking about people fucking their mothers and how people downvoting you arouses you (on a thread about not using a right wing hate symbol).
As an autistic person I'm baffled you'd try to hide behind your neurodivergence here.
Such a pointless thing to do which puts a massive target on your back for no reason. Backlash is deserved and maybe he learned something
Hes a libertarian nepo baby born into extreme wealth. His dad, the chairman of his company's board and a main investor, was a cofounder of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company.
Learning isn't likely a strong suit.
