What does the "Ukrainian" Game Festival have to do with anything? This is a article specifically highlighting that the game was made by Ukrainians - as if thst makes their game any better than anyone elses

We should ostracize anyone who engages in this political grandstanding and assess fames purely on merit

It bothers me because you dont see similar cheap and frankly offensive marketing from other game devs.

Nobody says "X game made by American devs" or "Y game made by Iraqi devs" or "Z game made by Chinese devs".

This is just an attempt to get cheap marketing off of peoples suffering and takes away from what actually matters - the quality of the game and turning it into something "political"

Being able to play as Master Chief would be amazing. Technically speaking he's almost like a Space Marine

Why do you have to mention "Ukrainian devs"? Does that make their "game" better than if it wasn't "Ukrainian devs"?

I think we should assess games on their quality not on who they are made by

Reminds me of the game on the Nintendo Advance that had "Flipendo". Dunno why

Well seeing what they did with the trilogy and its "remaster", this is a pretty big cashgrab just like the "Remasters"

You said it yourself - Nazism/Fascism is backed by private capital so by definition it cannot be socialist, as socialism implies collective control of the means of production.

Communism is a form of "economic democracy" where the means of production belongs to the worker. It seeks to give workers the means to economic self determination (viewing economic self determination as more important than the performative political "self determination" seen in the Western world)

Nazism (aka National Socialism) was by Hitlers own admission named as such to confuse and trick people at the time into thinking Nazism was socialist (as that was in vogue) and thus voting for them. It worked when Hitler won the Chancellory.

Like I said these are two entirely different ideologies. Also funny you repeat propaganda about communism "being authoritarian" when within the USSR for example, there was plenty of self determination and self organization at local political levels

Thats the crux of the matter - if GSC wants to censor Russian stuff they might as well remove the name STALKER and start a new game franchise (where they can do what they want), because STALKER is the invention of Russian authors (they even admit to this when making the first games). If they keep that, then any attempts at "censoring Russian stuff" is hypocritical and the result of Ukrainian propaganda

In addition, when talking of "Russia killing countrymen" or "Russia destroying their stuff", the number of civilian casualties for a war of this intensity is very low from Russias side. If you want an example of what war truly looks like - look to Gaza. Every other claim in that regard is pure propaganda. Russia has gone out of its way to avoid civlian targets as much as possible. In addition, if Ukrainians want to "ban Russian things" they may as well start with banning their own infrastructure that was built by the Russians during their period of administration. Look at Ukrainian power plants, they survive multiple missile strikes (this is the legacy of the Soviet Union) whilst Spanish/Portugese power grid goes down from strong winds. One way to look at "Russia destroying Ukrainian stuff" is Russia is technically helping Ukraine fulfill its goal of "derussifying itself" by destroying things they built.
