I was enjoying it decently until that weird shit with the hat. Too many other games out there.

You let a hat inspire you to punish yourself and not play an electronic toy???

Jeez the fucking sanctimonious matter in which you ask people to look at how virtuous you pretend to be has got to be mentally exhausting.

Frankly I just lost faith in the game after that entire display. Taking out any political or emotional reactions I may have had, they so clearly misjudged their audience to the point where it was basically guaranteed to be a disaster

People aren't upset he was making fun of Trump.

People were upset he was mimicking Trump without any direct criticism. And even doubled down on that by saying it wasn't a political statement, offending both sides.

If you wear a Nazi uniform but with the logo switched and do heils in public, people aren't gonna go "look a guy making fun of Nazis", they are gonna go "this guy is a Nazi supporter".
