Why?
I mean I can go very long on how I think Trump as a president is one of the worst ideas ever made real.
But I can also do the same for this and a lot of comments in this thread on how they don't make sense. An announcement creates a problem because USA and Canada think they are the center of the world and that makes them think that everything runs around them?
Stop sending tulips to Canada then. The US is the centre of the world right now and people like are you are exactly like why many Americans voted for Trump (among others reasons we don't need to discuss in this thread). If that's the kind of understanding you get from this thread, you need to enlighten yourself. The comments do make sense, you're just used to thinking in extremes - it's either my way or the highway. This could have been a quiet release or a post with some context (like a link to that National Post article), instead it was put out in a way that sounds antagonistic. It doesn't matter when the game was created, right now is what matters. Right now the climate is what it is and a deliberate choice to go ahead with this like BGA did is tone deaf.
Most of us just don't like the timing; it feels like it was deliberate. People are allowed to have emotions about this and they are also allowed to post in the news here about it. It's not just about you and your opinion; if you didn't think so, you wouldn't have been offended enough to comment. Like someone else said earlier, this is a huge 'oof' moment. Would a delay have hurt them much if at all?
It's a shame for the developer since it is unrelated (albeit an odd choice of a name anyway considering the game's context), but when you pick a company over a nation that says a lot about you than us.
