    I’ve heard its because of the games anti-corporate message.

    But even as someone who blames their boomer-ass wintel admin coworkers for allowing AD to EEE its way into enterprise IT, I have a hard time buying that. That game was making too much money for that.

      That’s probably not it, lol. You think some execs care about a games anti corp message if they are making money off of it? I highly doubt it

        Yeah that’s why I said I don’t really buy the excuse myself, its just the only thing I could think of that really even starts to make sense.

        And even then its far-fetched as shit.

      That makes no sense.

      Vandeley wasn’t always evil. Roxanne, Peppermint, Macaron, Korsica, all wanted the company to do good, and for a long while it did.

      Vandeley only became “evil” because Kale mind-controlled Roxanne and made himself CEO.

      I don’t know how that’s anti-corporate. A big part of the plot is that Vandeley grew so successful because it was a genuinely good company doing good things in the world, loved by all, before it became a dystopian world-conquering device at the hands of a villain.
