I can't wait to play this. I backed it ages ago. 50% due to how awesome Shadowrun Returns was and 50% due to my love of the Mechwarrior games. From the numerous, highly detailed updates that have gone out, this looks like it has some quality behind it. I hope it turns out to be a fun game and that the singleplayer campaign has some good story behind it.

100% looking forward to this.

They're using gender neutral pro-nouns in this game and when you try to give them feedback on the game's Steam forum about it they ban you. I don't give a shit about any identity politics in the game, fuck off with censoring people with opposing viewpoint though.

I've seen this game before. Oh, yes, they were totally banned over the innocuous point of disagreement and not the insults and death threats. ;)

Looks excellent.

Hah, "feedback".
It's just a bunch of manufactured outrage because there's an option to choose a gender neutral pronoun during character customisation.
Pyrian on 24/4/2018 at 02:15
Seriously? The option? Yeah. I'm sure the people complaining about that were the absolute picture of calmly rational disagreement.

Lol why in the hell would they ban people for that? That's just ridiculous. Why did they include gender neutral? That's just stupid.
