If it's the scene I think it is, I can't talk about it in the thread, because it's specifically about the biggest spoiler of the game. That wasn't romance. Hell, if you've finished the game, then you absolutely know what the overarching emotional theme in it is.
I never called it indie. And "AA" is rather hard to judge considering how ridiculous the giant budgets of the big corpo games got.
TLDW: I'm assuming this is all about budget sources. Why does it matter? Did they or did they not make a game that pretty much shits on the corpo-slop? Is everyone that is raving about it (including me) lying?

Nah, if it were a Total Kirsche Victory, VICE would be paying for her million dollar Massachusetts Victorian mansion, where she'll be able to live with her paternal family (yes, that's a specific detail), and get herself a nice himbo to settle down with.
I'll have to look that up sometime, it's the second time I've heard of it (First being right after Genshin actors started harassing Jacob Takanashi). I certainly don't expect her to be based, but I'm always willing to settle for "shows actual common sense."
I'm still wondering what kind of budget it had to get the likes of Hollywood actors to star in it. I suppose that was just Epic Games throwing money at them though (She'd always tease EGS "Thanks for beta testing Crime Boss!"). Michael Rooker, Vanilla Ice, Danny Trejo, Chuck goddamn Norris, and so on.
Yeah. I'm a viewer (one of the "honorable chatters"). I played Rockay City after watching her, finding a few things in it I thought would interest me enough, and even got to play alongside her a few times. Was very disappointed to hear about this, uninstalled it, etc., with 60+ hours into it.
They're now trying to hide the negative reviews. Seriously, the game itself was so mediocre, but she loved it so much, and it honestly was sold really cheaply, that it seemed like a great value. According to her, more copies of the game were sold on Steam WITH HER AFFILIATE LINK than not. And most of what she did for them was absolutely FOR FREE. There was even talk they'd make her an actual player character skin, that's how important she was to their marketing. And they dropped her, because a fucking tranny psychopath had a bone to pick.
My only stance on the matter- sometimes it's not "good vs. evil," but "law vs. chaos," which actually gets a bit more complicated with where the lines are drawn. Pure law removes free will, pure chaos leads to zero consequnce. Neither are necessarily good, but if you can't find a reasonable balance of both, evil is inevitable.
Nice one. I usually just go with Film Actors Guild if I feel like I have to mock them.
