The first mission happens literally because a family decided they wanted to buy a new android who proceeded to attack his former owners sparing the only person who treated him like a human. It follows it up with buying an android in a manner similar to a slave auction and a bit in which we see androids are shuttled to the back of the bus. How could you NOT get that sort of message?
Yea. It thought it was being deep while re-iterating dumb points we've heard a thousand times and hiding it behind a thin coat of paint.
And 'damning of me'? What are you on about? How am I 'damned' because I thought a game tried to be artsy and deep but ended up being blatant and shallow due to a hamfisted narrative? Let me guess. 'Gone Home' is a narrative worthy of a generation as well and not something you can predict in the first five minutes.
Anytime there is oppression you can tie it to black people. I mean they could have done an alien thing and how aliens had to fight for their rights also. The game still has a lot of good moments, and a lot of people liked the game.
Claiming well it's just androids are black people is completely missing the point of the game.
