What if we split the Codex into two sites: RPG Codex + Political Codex?

What do you think about splitting the politics out to a separate stand-alone website + forums?

Games were always political. Medal of Honor, which was released in 1999 was political. And I'm sure older examples can be found.

Sim City

And its modern incarnation, City Skylines, which is openly shilling for twatter, pushing heavily towards elimination of industry and fossil fuels in favor of windmills and solar, has no government buildings or churches (not even as special buildings/monuments), heavily promoting public transport over personal car ownership, sets up giant office and apartment building megacities to be the ultimate goal, and is otherwise oozing with soy from every pixel.

The cool part about Sim City is when you can have Liberal join in as a disaster when you select alien invasion.

Because he's not white.

This is a fucking horrible idea and nothing good could possibly come of it

And quit rigging the polls

Shouldn't come as a surprise that the snowflake is flaky.

a game about political topics is not the same as a game not about a political topic but has $currentyear politics shoved into every one of its orifices
The blatant politicization of video games has no parallel in the history of video games, there's nothing to compare it to. VTMB's politics were basically two throwaway lines(one aimed at a republican, another at a democrat, fyi) in an entire game. That was generally the extent of it -- a throwaway line or a gag. Now they build entire characters and stories around realworld political inserts.

What do we do with games then that solely exist to push a political agenda? Or games that deal about politics a lot (Disco Elysium)? :shittydog:

Kinda hard to split the Codex when everything about games today is political.

What people really mean when they say they don't want politics : "we don't want anything to the right of Stalin"

No social media ever ban people for being communists.

Splitting will make both the gaming section and the political section shit.

The only thing saving the political side to devolve into ResetEra-lite or Stormfront/QAnon-lite is the fact you have to spend a year talking about RPGs before being able to see/post in GD, which works as an ok filter for retards.
And without the political side, the gaming section will be dead soon: apart from boomers and older millennials like me who the fuck still use game forums anyway?
