3. I used to play Star Frontiers. This is really disappointing.

I owned Star Frontiers as a kid back in the 80’s.

Wasn’t a brilliant game, but it had some fun concepts and alien species. This is really disappointing.

There was no racism at all in the original, although it imagined a capitalist interplanetary future where corporations had the powers of nations and sometimes fought full scale wars with one another.

Sad to see there’s an effort to turn it into some kind of alt-right gaming fantasy.
