"Make good games, don’t make a contemporary political statement,” says Helldivers 2 director, as players massacre infected citizens for leaders worried about "anti-democratic brainwashing"

Sigh. Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead's CCO and longtime figurehead Johan Pilestedt has tweeted that his philosophy is to "make good games, don't make a contemporary political statement". Which, you know, is a bit of a weird thing to say when a whole bunch of games - Helldivers 2 for example - clearly manage to easily be good and explore political themes by their very nature.
