Part 9/11:
What stands out is the media's reaction to “The Veil Guard” missing out on accolades. Instead of acknowledging the failure or the game’s discordant reception, some outlets and fans are expressing outrage over the snub, claiming the game was unfairly overlooked due to biases or ideological reasons. This reaction seems ironic, given the game's own flawed execution and lack of consensus support.
The crucial point is that the framing of “The Veil Guard” as a symbol of progressiveness has not resonated with the broader gaming audience. Its failure isn’t just about poor gameplay or storytelling but highlights the ongoing tension between commercial success, cultural politics, and genuine artistic quality.
