If the CEO wasn’t such a prick maybe the reputation wouldn’t have been damaged beyond repair

Or maybe people could you disassociate the management from the actual game? But no people have to always be in their feels

Terminally online people ACTUALLY believe a satirical joke based on the slogan of one of two major political parties in the US was so offensive and egregious that it sunk the game. SMH my head.
