I initially defended the screenshots as being so on the nose they had to be faked, because they really were just too perfect that it smelled terrible. Not out of any love of Varva, but simply because it felt like a gayop.
But, I did leave the possibility open that he really did just write an almost parody level nonsense and it seems that he has in fact tossed away all the goodwill he built from the first game.
I had the same thought. It was particularly odd that the screenshots were only from one source, when there are a ton of review copies out in the wild.
I really hoped it was fake, very disappointed to learn it's not. The first game was excellent because of the strong historical focus that was placed above all else. I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are many other ideological changes in KCD2, and the leaks are simply some of the most flagrant. Glad I didn't preorder, but it's a real shame to see this happen to KCD.
