Episode 42: IGN Complains Battlefield 2042 Won’t Take a Political Stance

from Splash Damage · host Scrivonaut

IGN wrote a piece this week criticizing Dice for saying Battlefield 2042’s story and setting themes exist only for gameplay reasons. We discuss game journalists’ penchant for demanding games take polarizing political stances, Kotaku holding a grudge against Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s ongoing success, the Tolkien Society going woke, and Wargamer’s reminder to not be racist while playing Dungeons & Dragons.
