I'm intrigued a bit with this new videogame, but I will remain cautious about it and wait a few days/weeks after release and look at various reviews before I dip my toes in this project. That blue/pink flag anywhere related is seriously poisonous.

I worked on the first game. We had to recite the oath of the Astartes by heart when we joined the project. It was literally made by people with passion, just... Low budget and tiny team."

It's interesting to hear that. It makes total sense about how right the feel of the game was. People can quibble about lore or whatever but you could tell people working on this got it. All the little touches of normies going "what this is a major Forge World, nothing can happen here", the reactions of Guard to Marines showing up... I realize it's not the -best- game but the passion you mention showed through and I for one appreciated it.

Some points I think are worth keeping in mind to see how this situation differs from the Battletech video game with its tranny Lead Designer:
  • Senior Writer is not Lead Writer
  • GW will certainly have control over narrative direction, if that is of any assurance
  • Assuming this game is comparable to the first one, there's really not going to be much story content at all, just continuous shooting and smashing in a war against bug aliens (and whoever the third-act antagonists will be)
  • The player takes the role of a preestablished and beloved Space Marine character, or otherwise generic Space Marines if there's mulitiplayer, so there's really no room for a trooned character creator with pronouns, gender mismatching, or male/female parts being labeled as "B"/"A".
Anyway, just looking into this person a little further, it seems that Saber only just hired him for this 40k project a couple of months ago. Otherwise, he appears to have constantly bounced between companies on temporary contracts, so who is to say that his time at Saber won't be just as limited.

From RuPaul to Space Marine 2? I can smell those ESG ratings rising from here.
 
Probably going to go the same lines as the 1st one: Nids as the constant horde, instead of the Orks, and with the heshe, Chaos based plot device will be Slannesh but Sisters of Battle will come in and save the day

Actually it could be as isn't Darktide going to be Guard vs Nurgle?
 
Waking up to news of Space Marine 2 felt great, actually a good start to the weekend. I'll hold my copium seal close to my heart and wait the game delivers.

If it helps, I liked it. It was highly cathartic, and up until Doom 2016 it was my go to for 'I need to hurt some digital critters'.

It's not the story of Space Marine I'm worried about. It's the following scenario:

Vidya/Novel/Comic book/what have you gets some form of woke cancer shoved into it by rainbow haired idiot (Female Marines, Troon Marine, Nonbinary Character, what have you)
Woke idiots on Sigmarxism and Feminist40k raise a stink because "it's cannon now!" and renew demands for "representation" in 40k
Woke idiots in BL/GW Proper use the external pressure their allies are creating to amplify internal pressure to let them add woke cancer
GW releases special edition model of the woke cancer, making it cannon.

Basically, backdooring in the wokeshit to the actual lore proper. Hell I remember when one of the EU White Dwarfs accidentally included pictures of someone's kitbashed Female Ultramarines, and it took exactly 0.00015 seconds for plebbit to start explaining to everyone that it's canon now and we can all suck their feminine penises.

Wasn't that in like the Rogue Trader or 1-2nd ed era 90s before the troon shit even started and 40k wasn't serious?
