    I still enjoyed the first game but wasn’t one of the lead devs on KCD a capital G Gamer? I remember some… interesting tweets from him. Was he booted or did he change his ways?

        4chan is a well known stomping ground for kremlin propagandists.

    Somehow had no idea about the director. Shame. I was considering buying the game on GOG, and from the sounds of it, it’s actually pretty good despite his involvement. Ah well.
