RPGWatch was going to shut down - taken over by Taluntain instead!

None of that stuff can be easily found in the game (i.e. cutscene) so it might as well not exist for most players. Cope, seethe, join, die.

re: the Watch, rip but I can't feel anything about it when rancid shit like Resetera is still around.

I remember thinking "WTF is RPGWatch" whenever I first heard it here. I was surprised at how dead it was when I went to check what it was. Make no mistake, this was a while coming. For such a general forum to be so dead, it was a clear sign it wasn't long for the world.
It's not closing because it's dead. It's closing because the admin is tired being the admin.

In the opening video you see an American soldier execute a Canadian POW and happily wave to the camera, that means America bad.
I remember seeing that and thinking that's an unusually realistic and honest portrayal of America and Western hypocrisy in general. I didn't realize they were trying to critique anything, I just though they were laying it down like it is, with no commentary at all. Funny.

Unlike other platforms which claim to allow free speech, but then censor or ban you for having an opinion, we at the RPG Codex(Tm) do not ostracize people for having a different opinion.

The fact that you are wrong does not mean you aren't entitled to be wrong.

Not so sure about this anymore.... I was banned from posting for over a year just because I called out some woke and overly political RPG devs. I don't like woke or politics in my RPGs. And no ugly chicks please. :) That's pretty much all we get now and the games turn out so bad because of it. Just like all the bad woke movies. So I think the Codex isn't much behind RPGWatch really. You know what they say, get woke, go broke.

For me, it's not really fun here anymore because I feel like I'm walking on egg shells now. I'm actually confused about what I can post here because I will just get banned again if I cross some imaginary line or talk against some woke shit in RPGs that the mods may be shilling for. I'm sure others feel like that too. That is really bad for free speech and will just encourage more and more mediocrity and censorship until all there is left is a woke echo chamber that will end up just becoming irrelevant like RPGWatch. Oh well.
