      It certainly appears to be anti-com as shit from the trailers

        Unfortunately. I hope it isn’t that way though.

      I hope I’m wrong but some of the trailers give off that “this is what happens when you let communism run amok!” vibe. I remember one of the earlier trailers had a voiceover saying something like “Don’t believe capitalist propaganda! Our technology is safe!” while showing footage of killer robots attacking the player

        Capitalism is so fragile that it needs constant propaganda to survive. Which is funny because they themselves accuse Communism/Socialism for needing constant propaganda to survive.

          It is really funny, because the USSR never had robots like this nor would they have said it’s capitalist propaganda. An entire fabrication based on what the devs decided the USSR would have been like.

          You can package and sell whatever you want to libs, it’s incredible. Sincerely vibes over facts.

            The game takes place in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union had an even higher death toll and amount of destruction after World War 2 than in real life. As a result, the USSR embraced robotics and was able to create functioning robots and more advanced automated systems and prototypes of the internet and neural networks centuries ahead of the rest of the world.

            I assume that in universe, the capitalist countries slandered the Soviet robots as being death machines or as not being real or useful in the first place.

            My money in on some kind of virus or sabotage that causes the robots to go haywire.

          Capitalist propaganda is just projecting. Just look at USA accusing China of things they are themselves doing

        Latest trailer had a line 'Utopia is not what it seems ’ or something along those lines

        I’m hopeful that the game won’t be lib.

            From what I read, at least some of the devs do seem to support Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. And their discord does seem to reflect the ruling style of the USSR.

            Maybe I’m coping, but I don’t think the game will be as liberal as expected.

        I really hope the game is at least neutral, rather than liberal.
