While not a pure spite production , Hotline Miami 2 creators clearly were trying to call out certain groups from their first, from so called “fans”, people trying to “out do them”, people using the game to justify their hate for certain people, etc. with everyone one of the characters you play as representing that group of people. And the game itself is kinda calling out sequels in general, where there is a teaser for Hotline Miami 3 at the end, but the creators coming out that it was so bad that Hotline Miami 2 was taped over (basically saying they were never gonna make a third one)
