I know it doesn't impact in the game, but I just found I couldn't enjoy it anymore once I learned that the lead developer is a shitty person.

Also, what the fuck is with all those Polanski movies after he plead guilty to raping a child. It's not like a Weinstein situation where people could pretend they didn't know. It really makes all the rage and shock over recent sexual misconduct revelations seem pretty fucking performative.

You mustn’t enjoy much if you can't separate a creator from their creation considering what the rest of the game industry does to workers and the film industry does in general to upcoming talent.

Not sure what the second paragraph has to do with Factorio though.

You make assumptions. I separate the work from the artist. But I don't pay shitbags my increasingly rare spare cash and I don't promote them. That would ruin my enjoyment. Perhaps you have such wealth, you don't have to make hard choices about what to spend it on. Perhaps you don't care about living in a world where shitbags prosper and being decent is a liability.

This is the first I'm hearing about this. How'd you find this out?
