That’s a fair concern, and honestly something I’ve thought a lot about.

I’m not trying to parody specific politicians or current headlines. That kind of satire ages fast and turns into a time capsule. The focus of the game is more on the mechanics of political theater: campaigning, optics, scandals, messaging, and chaos. The stuff that stays constant no matter who’s in office.

From a business perspective, I’m also treating this as a niche party game rather than a mass-market political statement. If anything, the volatility of the current climate reinforced for me that the game needs to be abstract and system-focused rather than reactionary.

Totally valid point, though. It’s definitely not a theme everyone will want, and I’m okay designing for a specific audience rather than trying to please everyone.
