You try to get out... (Gaming)
Ok - firstly, I suspect we're probably not using the same definition of politically correct.
Secondly, I don't think I accused Infinite of being a racist game - or if I did, what I should have said was "no more racist than any other game in the society we live in". I think it tries to do well, bringing in named black characters. It gets a star for that.
I just think that the story it tells with black characters (and white characters) is pretty shite, and in bringing up the racism card itself, it cannot then escape examination about race by saying "ah but that's not what we were going for".
And now I really will depart from this thread.
