Note: I realize this thread is still awaiting approval, but I keep thinking about it and wanted to share some more thoughts on it.
For one thing, I find it to be a terrible business decision to tell nearly half of America that you don't want their money.
Also, I think there is some serious irony here. The game, from what I gathered from seeing some actual play, is about you taking on the role of a person who becomes a vampire, against their will, and slowly/quickly becoming evil. I daresay it's almost about empathizing with an "evil" creature. I'm sure one can't help but understand some of the choices that are made since you're them in the story. The irony is, you could envision a version of this game where you could play as any other "evil" person...say perhaps a Trump supporter (since they are specifically called out on the website's rant), and roleplay successive decisions leading you down the path of what you consider folly. Or, perhaps closer to the original theme of the game, you could roleplay as a cut-throat salesperson, stepping on "little" people as you climb the ladder to CEO of a mega corporation. I guess I find it bizarre that the author of a game that, at least to me, is partly about trying to understand something you consider evil, would make a sweeping declaration that they don't want anything to do with someone who thinks differently than them.
