    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.

          I would sooner believe it was some internal politics/dick swinging, they may have upset someone higher up and they swung their dick around and shut their shit down, just out of spite.

      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.
