The article is not about how the game shouldn't be political (because this notion is absurd). It's about how idiotic the treatment of the writer's views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.

The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.
Yeah, the critter was not what I expected, but it looks kinda cool.
Where I live, even our winter time isn't close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we're basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.
Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It's just because of how we already compensated for it.
In France we did switch last week. Almost nobody cares about going out for trick or treat, though.
Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we're not in the early 00's anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I'd expect a non-negligible part of these don't even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.
Incroyable que ça soit encore autorisé cette merde.
I can understand putting that condition on past ships, so you can't cheese too much on a new game/expedition (I don't think it was necessary, but I get why they'd do it).
The shitty part is that it did so too on the expedition quest reward. Like, it skipped the final reward forever on my expedition save because suddenly it randomly required nanites to claim.
And I checked the quicksilver bot afterwards, the ship is shown as already claimed, so I can't even farm and try again.
I had that egg bug too a few days ago, but it's supposed to be fixed in the latest patch. I could hatch the egg since anyway.
The most vivid memory I have of this is the crazy title screen music (CPC version, not sure if every versions had it).
Yeah, I am not sure I can relate either. My favourite games on the NES and SNES when I was a kid are still games I sometimes replay and enjoy today.
Closest thing to the comic I could find would be Ecco the Dolphin, maybe. I had the PC version, and I finished it a few times back then, I was stubborn and a bit bored. Not that long ago I tried returning to it, and maybe try the second game... And wow, it feels like a chore to play.
But even back then, it was not a game I liked that much. I liked how it looked, the creatures you'd meet and the crazy plot, but gameplay already felt tedious and stupidly unforgiving.
Except that doesn't work. I had the nanite requirement as I claimed the reward form the expedition tab. I literally didn't check the quicksilver bot before ending the expedition.
And a short while after I couldn't pay for the reward, my save converted to a normal game and the expedition tab disappeared.
Technically I have "claimed" it, as it is unlocked in the quicksilver vendor, but on my expedition save it's marked as already redeemed, and... Well no ship.
