Some made forum groups on Stephen King and the Nature of Religious Experience. Who knew? I clearly didn’t. I’ve never read any King. As far as I recall, no one discussed gaming.

Unsurprisingly, many game developers and publishers would rather stick a fork in a live power outlet than discuss religion in games, much less write it into a game with a role more complex than archetypal good-vs.-evil belief sets.
