    I know epic paid for it and that’s why it’s exclusive to their storefront.

    That’s also why I haven’t played it. They made a choice, I’m respecting that choice. I don’t want to support epic, despite me wanting to play this game. So I just won’t play it. Not like gamers are starved for content.

      I’m on the same boat and just watched a playthrough. The story is still wacky and pretty good. Unfortunately the SBI and DEI influence is very noticeable.

          DEI is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Not sure on SBI

          But unless the game is late-seasons Glee levels of pandering, I assume it having some people who are not straight white men won’t feel that out of place.

          Sweet baby inc is a company that offers services to game companies to make their games more diverse and inclusive. Their influence is really noticeable unfortunately.

            I’m literally playing through Alan Wake 2 right now and there’s been no forced diversity or tokenism whatsoever.

            Are you just saying that because one of the main characters is a black woman?
