id Software Accused of Stereotyping Aliens![]() ![]() Barrett Alexander responded to the accusations in his .plan file: We're not trying to be SETI here. It's not our goal to make an educational game, nor a game that's necessarily accurate to the universe's conditions. After all, many of the design specs in Quake 2 are based on American McGee's vague recollections of his abduction by aliens. You can't possibly build a realistic game from that kind of experience. ![]() "I am extremely offended by anything that portrays my kind as being a breed of cold and ruthless beings whose only purpose in life is to conquer the entire universe by any means necessary." |
