apparently someone was putting nazi imagery into life is strange and management dragged their feet in dealing with it, never actually seeming to have done anything to hold the individual accountable. And that led to ign investigating and finding a whole swath of abuse and discrimination

I wonder if the people who hated Sweet Baby would go after these people.

Nope, at best the youtube channels they parrot won't discuss it, at worst, they will agree with nazi rhetoric since they already call any black people in games "woke".

I think its pretty weird that gamers had an existential meltdown over the decades old concept of diversity consultants

Episodic games have been so overdone, though. Especially through companies like TellTale

By the time I got around to it, it was complete. I didn't like the 2nd and 3rd games as much, but the first was great.

They feel the Nazi supporters are a persecuted minority of free speech warriors.

I think a quasi Nazi reference may have made it into the game. There is an achievement called "Exactly 731". It is the number of beans in a guessing jar.

Unit 731 committed some of Japan's most horrible war crimes in WWII.

Well, at least it's the studio that did the sequels and not the one that made the original.

Life is Strange is better than most anything TellTale has put out though. It's a different game where you have chances to explore the world and talk to people and learn more about them rather than just playing through the equivalent of a graphic novel in video game form

In most games I'd agree with you but not in a game were someone kept trying to hide Nazi references. It's not too far fetched to believe this one made it in since its Nazi adjacent (instead of a direct Nazi reference) and not a common dog whistle most people would know. Still could just be a coincidence of course.
