A comment on a Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 video appearing to be from Saber CEO Matthew Karch has raised eyebrows for stating that games should be about “glory kills” instead of “imposing morals on gamers”.
The comment, from an account named “MatthewKarch” purporting to be the Saber CEO, was made on a video by streamer Asmongold titled “Space Marine 2 is a reminder of what we lost”.
The video is a response to another from YouTuber Legendary Drops who described the recently released Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 as oozing “with so much masculinity that I feel like I’ve been in a desert for the last few years”. Asmongold vehemently agrees in his almost one hour response.
The comment from “MatthewKarch”‘s account mentions they love Asmongold’s videos, before providing further details on the developer’s intentions with Space Marine 2.
“I love your videos,” the account wrote. “When we signed the deal to make Space Marine 2, all I wanted was a throwback game. We had the chance to work on something which by its nature was ‘old school’. I can’t even comprehend many of the current games that we play these days. They are too complex and too much of an investment. We worked on Halo back in the day, and that game could be distilled down to the simplest of shooting loops, but it was entirely addicting.
