But usually fascist media sucks. It's art without soul. Generally created merely to piss someone else off not to express any inner light or ideas or even just because it'd be fun. Their movies games and books fuckin blow. To create you need a soul and fascist have none.

But God damn they are such babies. They want to be fed their slop by people forced to make it. Truly awful little things they are.

Some awful people have made (arguably) great games. (See Notch -> Minecraft).

I thought Notch made Minecraft before going full on CHUD? I could be mistaken though. But even then, it goes to show that the only way they could make a good game is if their politics don't feature in it at all.

He did. He even made jokes about how the animals in the game can reproduce indiscriminately (because the game had no male or female) and I think for some species have mixed sex characteristics, so basically everything was gay and intersex and so on. He said something like "Screw you, conservatives!" Obviously the reason the game was made that way is for simplicity, he didn't intend any message behind it, but he still thought it was funny how conservatives get so upset at media having traits like that.

There are theories that he tipped his hand on being an awful reactionary with the update that added Endermen (a little before 1.0 I think), but those two events are years apart and Minecraft was already big by then.

Also, as NOPper said, Infiniminer had the most significant concepts from it already and some of the rest are just severely pared-down Dwarf Fortress.

The core concept was also already done in Infiniminer right before.
