InZOI’s director was disappointed the new life game isn’t as silly as The Sims (www.pcgamesn.com)

But they fussed about Call of Duty.

If I'm annoyed about anything it's that. Gamers are so often using these ostensible customer protection or political affinity issues as a cudgel for what is ultimately a branding preference. This results on excusing some crappy stuff from people they semi-irrationally like (loot boxes on Steam games are fine!, we don't talk about GenAI on InZOI!) but give extreme amounts of crap to companies they semi-irrationally dislike even for relatively positive things they do.

I'd mind less if the difference was based on size or artistic quality, but dude, InZOI is from Krafton. I don't know that the PUBG guys are the plucky indies I want to stretch my moral stances to support.
