"I quoted the reply as this has been an ongoing discussion with my other Japanese followers. You are welcome to reply but you didn't do any due diligence and just interrupted trying to look like an expert on a discussion you haven't been part of or even followed. @Cacophanus You know when you follow someone their quotes/requotes appear on your feed right You know to encourage others to join the conversation.

"I genuinely don't get the strategy here as they are getting rid of the people who actually make games. So even if you make all these supposed savings who will make the games after all of that It's incredibly stupid"

"I think it's also how Star Wars "cheated" its mainly fantasy setting by making all the hardware look industrial and worn out. @Cacophanus I have noticed this. I can only speak for Americans but we seem to have less ability to suspend disbelief. But factors can be balanced out. A more fantastical control scheme can be balanced out by the mech feeling appropriately heavy and slow for its size for example. @Cacophanus I have noticed this.
