With all the Trump-voter chat it's probably worth reflecting on the game's ultimate theme of people sacrificing the disadvantaged out of desperation to preserve their way of life. And probably also that the people doing those sacrifices were primarily middle-class business owners out of some sort of paternalism toward the rest of the town.

If Night In The Woods is still meaningful to you, go ahead and enjoy it. The message of the game doesn't support (and often outright rejects) anything Holowka did, and buying it won't support him at this point, financially or morally. It's totally valid to feel like you can't enjoy the game because it's so closely tied to this issue, but it's not an ethical dilemma, and there's no need to feel bad about enjoying it despite everything.

Larryb posted:Honestly the game should have had more Angus hangouts. Lori was also a really good character that should have played a somewhat bigger role in my opinion. Hell, I missed Lori throughout the entire game except her very first appearance and the very last when I decided to explore those upper rooftops before the game ended.

Honestly it just seems like someone who just missed the point? She's so caught up in her image of small-town America is small-minded bigots (which, to be fair, is pretty much true) that she missed the game's whole thrust of setting up a world in which bigotry wasn't a factor to better get at the real problem of capitalism. So when the game reached its climax of "the middle class sacrifice the underclass out of a blind faith in The Economy" she read it as "white people attack minorities out of fear" because she's so blind to the class struggle.
