Amazon Games' New World MMO Isn't About Colonization, but About Greed and Cooperation

Amazon Game Studios' MMO New World is inspiring controversy over concerns of its potentially glorifying colonization, but it's really not about that.

Sounds like Ark without the dinosaurs.

If it's not about colonization, they sure as fuck did a bad job at not conveying that, what with the Spanish conquistador-dressed characters and all.

What's wrong with it being about colonization? Colonization was a major part of history, for better or for worse, it was a thing.

The controversy seems to be about the glorifying of colonialism, which isn’t something that should done, as it’s pretty damn horrible (is because it’s still happening) and the effects of it are still very present.

Wait, there are still people who are pro-colonizing?

I'm primarily a console guy and I admit that New World looks like the business. The game looks awesome. At the very least it's intriguing.
