Gotta love the derailing. I personally follow Vavra on FB where he mostly posts in Czech so I probably get a more nuanced idea about his views than people reading his Twitter (his English is good but sometimes he struggles to get his point across, also the character limit doesn't help). There's lots of stuff I can't identify with, would even say I consider many things he posts dumb or very overstated. Here and there he posts something I can actually agree with (mostly articles written by people who don't rely on hyperbole as much as Vavra) or at least stuff that makes me think about an issue in a wider context. My general understanding is that he's not a bad person but politically has a very reactionary position... actually wait, is this the correct term? What I mean is every time he thinks some issue is presented in a biased way (especially biased in the direction opposite to the one he finds himself on) he tends to disregard anything he might agree with and concentrates on the disagreements, makes them the central point of his argument. Always cherry picks points to argue in everything, making him sound very asshole-like.
Some of his posts make me think that the studio is quite varied in terms of political views, and that he generally doesn't let politics decide which people to work with, or even which people to go have a few beers with. He sometimes rants about stuff like "this leftist friend of mine said this or that". However, in the online space, he does come across as pretty close minded and dismissive of opposing views. Like he doesn't understand that the plurality of ideas goes both ways, and that one can't exactly accuse people of censorship for expressing their opinion publicly (because then it, you know, sounds like you'd like to censor them, ironically).
As for the game, never backed it, probably won't buy it, but I hope it does well. As a mainly Nintendo guy my PC is very outdated with little to no reason to upgrade (my Steam/GOG backlog of stuff I could play is massive, plus the current hardware prices are insane), and I don't own the consoles it will come out on, but I'd love to see the look on the faces of the suits who declined to fund the game all those years ago. The more proof games like these can sell, the better.
