1. not missional Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 11:14, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
2. agreed. its a synopsis and there is nothing to add. AMassiveGay (talk) 11:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
3. True. If there's anything missional about these games, it's not made clear here. Spud (talk) 12:54, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
4. "Hey it's political" is not a valid justification for having an article on this game. Cosmikdebris (talk) 13:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
5. Don't forget to delink from the Objectivism and Ayn Rand pages. The games aren't missional beyond perhaps a mention of their existence in those two pages, and certainly not worthy of a full article. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 14:01, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
6. Agree—Delibirda the Annoying Grammar Nazi (talk) 15:09, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
7. -"Shut up, Brx." 15:42, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
8. -Flandres (talk) 15:45, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
9. Per all. --It's-a me, 🎄LeftyGreenMario!🎄 18:39, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
10. Maybe if it was better written. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 19:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
11. Naked commercial promotion.𝔖𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔞 𝔄𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔬𝔩𝔬𝔤𝔦𝔠𝔞 (𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔩𝔦𝔰) (𝔰𝔠𝔯𝔦𝔭𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔞) 17:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Can we set a official precedent here that a video game(or film, or series) having a political message is not enough to give it a dedicated article?-Flandres (talk) 15:48, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm not in favor of bureaucracy and a giant list of rules. Each case involving the missionality of a particular article should be evaluated by the mob based on the stated mission of RationalWiki. Cosmikdebris (talk) 15:53, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

In practice, that's the case already. But, yeah. Let each media-related article stand or fall on its own merits. Spud (talk) 16:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Indeed, there is nothing in the mission statements that suggests that merely because something is political it merits an article. But, a number of political subjects involving authoritarianism or anti-science from either left or right would make the cut.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 16:48, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

OK. I don't think this consensus is going to change. I'll wait 24 hours before deleting it just in case there are some late comments - I'll fix the links afterward. (Unless someone else wants to do the deed earlier.)Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 06:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
