I don't regret my purchase at all, it's a phenomenal game. But yeah, I'm definitely saddened to hear that they've made some in-game adjustments... I just absolutely hate that we live in a country that has a hard time struggling with satire and numerous forms of humor... Even in the few hours I've put into Ion Fury, it all felt so perfect. It felt like 90's humor, and, well, that's the whole point.
However, it IS really saddening to me to know that creators are apologizing for nothing, really. It's like making a satirical comedy film, and then apologizing for it to the people that are offended by it. It's just a movie, it's just satirical, it's not meant to be taken seriously, etc.
Until there's a game that actively tries to force hateful beliefs down your throat (and I hope there never will be), there's no reason for apologies like that.
As for the Discord comments, I don't even understand how they're THAT offensive, or offensive at all really. That's pretty ridiculous.
I feel like out of all of this, the only thing that I kinda get is the whole "fagbag" thing, but it was something you couldn't see without cheating. Why not just patch that out, and that's it. Boom, done.
I mean, Sensitivity Training? Really? For this stuff? Good god, lmao. I hope they're just saying they're doing it and not doing it at all. But I would've rather them not take all this measures, it's absurd. Can't wait for all the future instances of developers apologizing for doing things they felt worked perfectly in their vision, but offended others. Ugh.
