Coincidence? I think not.
I like to think I’m a progressive guy, and I loved the direction that Rocksteady Studios took the original game in their first major success, but I can’t see the wisdom in going with a ham heavy game concept. Don’t get me wrong, ham is great, but focusing solely on ham not only puts added pressure on ham, but it also needlessly takes credit away from other solid pork parts like bacon, spare rib, pork loin, pork chops, and the usually forgotten (unless you’re in the Deep South) Knuckles, intestines, and jowls.
Please Rocksteady. I beseech you. Reconsider what you’re doing to this game. I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but honestly, after seeing these potential website locations and determining a backstory to them of my own accord has left me doubting your ability to deliver.
