As someone who is usually excited for another Spiders RPG, everything I’ve seen and heard about Greedfall and the way it’s handling colonial themes is upsetting. Given previous output I do not expect them to stick the landing at all.

There past games have all had so many issues but I’ve always loved how they’d try to create very unique settings for their weird RPG’s. There is a world where this game nails it and it is properly able to address the vile nature of that era and the struggles indigenous people did and still face, but Spiders output gives me zero reason to trust that. Also, it seems to be using another species as an allegory for indigenous peopl, that especially makes me feel they don’t understand the subject matter they’re trying to handle.
