Could you elaborate or give an example of unwanted politics in a video game?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Have you heard of the Amarr empire? That's an unwanted politic in a videogame.

I understand it's a faction from Eve online but haven't played the game. Can you give more details about what makes you not want it in a video game?

I'm just meming. Amarr stuff is plenty good. They just happen to be religious zealots and the perfect thing to rail on here.

Yeah, fair enough. When I read about them I realized the reasoning could go in two opposite directions: hating having to deal with religious zealots in a game or hating the way the game is portraying the religious. Tongue in cheek didn't occur to me lol.
