For max clarity on including the pride flags in the detail station inventory at the start - we wanted to include these stickers because the representation of these communities is important to us, and we wanted players to have access to them immediately without the RNG of finding them on a trip into the Zone. Felt weird to make people 'hunt' for their own representation.
This is something we as a studio made the decision to include, and something we'll continue to stand behind.

FYI, developers. I'm not buying any product to be preached to. I wouldn't give much of a shit if you had your propaganda on the RNG. Hell, you could have even put it on a bias in the RNG. But this action and subsequent doubling down makes me keep my money.
It's a shame, too, because this game looks like something I'd play. But I'm not in the habit of supporting things I dislike.
Wonder if I would find one thing that represents me in there?
And they are shocked that people are sick and tired of a group that is massively over represented
I appreciate it when developers openly admit that they support pedophilia, that makes it easy to avoid their products.
Bet you can't find a Northwest Front sticker in their game.
Something about this game’s previews was pinging my gaydar.
I’m in the same boat as other commenters: zero tolerance for lgbt propaganda in my games anymore. I don’t care how “good” your game is. If you’re sucking rainbow dick, I’m not buying.
It did look interesting, the part grinding reminded me of Space Engineers.
As Kaarous mentioned, it was great on the devs part to make it clear where they stand.
An area destroyed by outsiders who view themselves as superior and demand you do as they say? No no, that sounds like the Pacific Northwest.
Well, that was on my list of new games I'm interested in checking out, and that's a really short list. Now it's a pass.
And no, I'm not buying it and modding it out or pirating it either. For me if I pass on a game for woke-ness it's a full pass. I'd have let them go for a single fag flag too but when a dev is bending head over heels to suck the rainbow dick, it's usually a sign the product is bad.
I don’t see how anyone could feel “represented” by a sticker of a flag.
devil's advocate: if they want to accurately depict Pacific Northwest culture, pride flags are a big part of it. The rainbow Mafia has tons of power up there.
I get it. But put it all on the RNG and don't parade with your dick out.

From what I have heard the stickers simply exist as an option and no where is there any price fsggotry forcefully on display, so... this seems like a hyperbolic reaction. As long as I dont have to participate in seeing that shit, then I don't really care. It can be there, as long as it's not forced on in my face to see.
I've never played it so I can only go by the hear say on the reviews and forum.
Thank you.
This is one of the things that slowly turned me off to Razorfist. Post-2016, one of the things he frequently went on about was gatekeeping gaming from the left... only to turn around to buy and stream Battletech (2018), which, among other problems, was woke to the point that you couldn't make a normal white person in the character creator while simultaneously making one the main villain.
I'll spare you from having to read an entire essay, but the TL;DR of it is I watched him from his beginnings (or close enough, he started on Youtube in 2011, I found him in 2012), watched his channel grow, and eventually watched him fall (as a person, not necessarily his channel just yet) and eventually decided enough was enough.
I don't think Razorfist has ever been anything other than milquetoast lolbertarian.
Same here.
Any content creator defending or excusing it goes on my block list, and same for the developers who add this content to their games.
