Every time this thread gets a bump, I’m excited and then disappointed. I don’t even know what The Last Night will look like at this point, but I hope it eventually comes out. I was really looking forward to it.
It sounds like Phil isn't going to help out The Last Night, unfortunately
Microsoft is in the middle of a huge diversity push. There’s no way they would support anything that would question that worldview. Even if The Last Night changed, and is now about a patriarchal dictatorship, Microsoft isn’t going to take that chance.Is that so. Spineless or more likely aligned with regressive woke.
Makes sense. Just another freak show.Microsoft is in the middle of a huge diversity push. There’s no way they would support anything that would question that worldview. Even if The Last Night changed, and is now about a patriarchal dictatorship, Microsoft isn’t going to take that chance.

I thought it was a well-known thing at this point? Microsoft has been pushing "Diversity and Inclusion" for the last few years now. It's even the top point they make in redesigning their controller. Microsoft has even had specific GDC talks, for at least the last 3 years, about the topic. I'm not making a pronouncement, I'm just pointing out what Microsoft is saying about it's own plans. It's not a secret.Where do you get off making such a pronoucement?

It was true to cyberpunk lore, where excessive progressive ideology results in a dystopia.What's the ordeal with the game, woke, sjw and fuck knows who else have issues with it.
What was the issue itself that had them triggered?

I actually don’t know how the hell Cyberpunk 2077 is being embraced. The source material is scathing of wokeness.Sounds like the game would/will be prescient.
Wait, what? Since when is it cyberpunk lore that "progressive ideology" in today's political sense results in a dystopia? Are we rewriting history here? Cyberpunk is about rapid technological change, computerized data and AI everywhere, invasive modifications to human bodies and a future where high-tech meets low life, where humans simply can't keep up with the rate of technological change. It usually describes societies where governments have nothing to say and are being railroaded by untouchable international companies, who get away with murder on a daily basis.It was true to cyberpunk lore, where excessive progressive ideology results in a dystopia.

Was The Last Light ever more than a tech demo? Sounds to me like there wasn't an actual game, that's why nobody jumped in to save it.
The rapid advancement in technology and technological change is just subtext of the larger whole; it's the day-to-day grind about staying alive with the resources (read: technology) you have available when everything else is taken from you or you're kept in a perpetual state of poverty by the corporate entities you mentioned. The real dilemma people in the cyberpunk universe face is the roaming gangs of crazies who are so malformed by societal upheaval and socioeconomic struggle that all they have left is the identity of the gang they belong to. It's not as if governments have nothing to say, it's just that nobody will listen anymore.Wait, what?

Building off of this, the studio lead (Tim Soret) is forever catching flak for comments he's made on the #gamergate movement. He's since apologized and claims his views have changed but makes it clear that the game won't deviate from his artistic vision of a world gone to shit from extreme identity politicsIt was true to cyberpunk lore, where excessive progressive ideology results in a dystopia.
I know right, the fact that Phil mentioned that people like him and other publishers are aware of the Last night's troubles but nobody has bothered to scoop it up makes me think that it was probably just vaporware. It can't be a coincidence that not 1 single publisher thinks it's worth investing in, they know all the details we don't know.
It still has to steal that crown from Fez.This is going to be the Duke Nukem Forever of indie pixel art games.
I think COVID-19 will cause a big rethink on SJW nonsense.
Never heard of this game before, what does Microsoft have to do with it?
This game is so canceled because of the woke culture we live in now. There is zero chance now, as this guy is labeled a Trumpist.
Lol it's trumpist now? Trumper sounded too derogatory or what?When was he called a Trumpist?

The game is still alive
