    It’s probably the only time they’re right, when they call a game “commie”.

    It’s still a phenomenal game and they can’t help but cope.

      Depends on what you mean by it: while you can indeed “revive communism” in the game, it’s one of several political affiliations. All of which are completely optional and mercilessly mocked for their shortcomings and hypocrisies.

      So it’s about as much of a “commie game” as Dragon Age Origins is a “Dwarven Noble game” 🤷

      It’s still a phenomenal game and they can’t help but cope.

      True.

        Yeah, every ideology gets mocked in the game. But I feel like while fascists are shown as pitiful weiners, the commies’ plight is shown like a tragedy. Also, the writers thanked Marx and Engels when accepting an award for the game, so… yeah. 😅
