The Third Doctrinal War -- Stardock, Reiche/Ford, and Star Control

Well, in Brad’s defence, he has stated repeatedly that he tries to keep politics out of his games, most recently on the Steam forums, writing:

Our games won’t ever try to inject anyone who works here [sic] politics. Even our political game, The Political Machine, is hopefully considered very neutral.

Of course, whether it’s actually possible to avoid inserting your politics into your creative endeavours is an entirely different (philosophical) debate, but I’ve never played a Stardock game where I went, “Gosh, this is all rather right wing, isn’t it?!”
