@Zeether same. :| it's what stopped me getting it for the longest time because I just... ddiiiiddd not want to be anywhere even adjacent to that awfulness. The game is good and interesting, the soundtrack is great, I was just supe rworried there'd be awful channer bullshit pervading the whole game and... luckily there wasn't?... much???
but yeah i'm also worried about the sequel that's coming out if that'll be the same :|
