In all honesty, I don't care if a game has an agenda. Just if it's relevant and well written

"While some videogames have recently taken the opportunity to embed social or political agendas within their experiences, it is clear that many players do not appreciate this, and as a result, we have seen a number of high profile releases underperforming commercially during the last year alone," Hill said. "Our games will always be developed to maximise player enjoyment and commercial success, and as such, we will not be integrating any social or political agencies into these experiences going forward having observed the high risk this can present."

Talk about journos making a mountain out of a molerat... If it in fact was written by a "journo" and not an AI. To be fair, journo is a stretch, journos have journalism degrees, there's very little separating "gaming journalists" from bloggers. (Schreier and the like being the exception)
