    Ignoring the political context (which I actually agree with), Roberts has always had those pompous militaristic themes in a space sci-fi setting posture. It’s almost what makes Wing Commander the movie so good (it’s so bad that it’s fun sense).

      Chris was forced to make the first three Wing Commander games that way. His original pitch was much darker, explored the idea that the Kilrathi had legitimate reasons to be fighting, and basically ended with you doing war crimes.

      Wing Commander 4 was much closer to his original vision, and involves you going rogue against the Earth Navy after learning that the conflict you’re in was started by a false flag operation.

        Didn’t know about that.

        That being said if you look at any of the advertisement videos released by CIG; It’s all very vanilla. More so considering that their video advertisement budget is almost certainly very substantial even in a relative basis.
