The head of Moon Studios criticized the agenda and cancel culture: “Games and films are not the place for political statements.”
Recently, Maurice Weber, a journalist from the publication Gamestar, expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that players began to often ask on gaming forums whether there is an agenda in games, saying that:
Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios, creators of the Ori and No Rest for the Wicked duology, answered the journalist in detail why this topic has become quite painful for players in recent years, and also criticized publishers and developers for the fact that they everywhere add an agenda to their products for the sake of expressing their own political views. In addition, Mahler also dealt quite harshly with modern journalists:
Earlier, Thomas Mahler said that he kicked a consultant out of the studio on an agenda when he realized that he was engaged in banal sabotage for the game, simultaneously introducing discord into team. When Mahler spoke about this on social networks, a number of journalists attacked him and began to criticize him. However, apparently, he doesn’t care much about this.
