>rather than judging his work without prejudice

It seems perfectly pertinent to show the wide gap between the game's message and the developer's message.

So weird that you want journalists to "shut up and play ball" while the developer doesn't have to. If anything, it is Blow and Trump who are finding and attacking political enemies everywhere, all the time. You are fine with culture wars, but only when they come from one side - the other side is dirty and terrible to have the galls to do the same.

No, Blow "plays ball" in the things he produces: his games aren't political as far as I know. But the journalist does not play ball: He includes political jabs when reviewing games without political jabs.

For both parties is is legitimate to throw political punches in other contexts, like on social media.
