I was expecting something a little deeper or more subtle than what I got.

That’s the problem when these things gain reputations. The reputation builds it up to be more than the piece of art can deliver.

Now imagine playing it when it was new and you weren’t “expecting” anything but a military shooter. It would still be just as blunt, but it landed back then far more effectively than when you go in knowing the reputation the game has built in the many years that followed.

Game devs: “No thanks, we’re waiving the fees by using a different engine.”

Maybe that’s the actual value they’re watching, did you ever think of that, Mr. Pessimist?

(Sorry, junior dev somewhere out there. I tried.)

Sports are games. Not sure that’s the kind of traffic this community is envisioning, though.
