I for example completely agree with the message of this gun from Borderlands 3.

Do you agree with political messages pushed in videogames?

Video games are a medium for escapism not being reminded of the current state of the real world so I don't really, there's a time and place for everything.

Political messages should stay the fuck out if they don't serve a greater purpose to the game's world and narrative. OP's example is not only immersion-breaking, but it's fucking lazy.

What's your opinion on Bioshock?
Carter Taylor
if something that clearly meant to portray real politics and their actions like Deus Ex, then absolutely. Otherwise, stfu.

nta, but I think they fell into the common pitfall of thinking themes can carry a work even if the characters, plot, and, in the case of vidya, mechanics aren't so great, especially with Infinite.

The news cycle moved on. Pandemic is over, at least for the duration of war on Ukraine.
Poland took literally 1 million refugees, I bet none of them were asked whether they're vaccinated or wore masks.
