Care to explain the "dead is better than disabled" storyline beat? If you've never met or spoken to someone with a degenerative disease, you should absolutely avoid trying to write their stories.

I agree, this was a really jarring moment that took me out of the story. As a disabled gamer, that was a disappointing choice.

Can you elaborate more?

I'm going to have to reiterate this one. I've just been messing around with the demo, and have been intrigued by what I've seen so far, but, uh, leaving this particular question untouched when you're very clearly active in these comments is not a good look, and will definitely influence whether or not I spend money on this game.

Not that it excuses my anger, but to the people who have also seen this in the game, the creator HAS apologized and stated they will work on rewriting this scene. The article is here: https://sirusgaming.com/2020/09/04/spiritfarer-developer-apology-controversy/

The Sirius Gaming article could've been handled better, but I'm glad the developer acknowledged the problem.

Agreed

I'm actually really impressed with the way it's being handled on twitter. They've acknowledged it and are looking into updating that dialogue.
