it’s a good time to remember that lis fans are not obligated to be on board with every decision made for the franchise simply because they enjoyed some or all of the previous games. they are allowed to dislike the casting for the tv show (as long as harassment and racism doesn’t happen), they are allowed to be pessimistic towards de and reunion, and they are allowed to not want a lis tv show at all. i personally don’t feel any attachment to where the franchise has gone; i love lis 1 and 2 because they are heartfelt and deeply moving games that (in the case of lis2) never rely on cheap nostalgia to draw the fans in. people are quite free to enjoy whatever decknine shits out next, but nobody is obligated to like it simply because it has the label of a franchise they once loved slapped onto it.
