Talk:The Price of Freedom (role-playing game)

Criticism removed
I think it was reasonable to remove these, but reposting them here on the talk page:

"My political views are not those of The Price of Freedom; at the time, I considered myself a ‘left libertarian'. […] Some of my more liberal friends were intrigued by the idea, but repulsed by the heavy-handed nature of its political message […] But in general, you know, it was a flop. We had quite a lot of interest from the distributors pre-publication, but in the event, it did not sell particularly well. Keep in mind that this was the Gorbachev era, US-Soviet relations were improving, and the scenario was viewed as pretty implausible. […] [I'm] A tad embarrassed by the game."
 * In an interview to (a Finnish novelist, TV producer, journalist and game designer), Greg Costikyan admitted:

- Greg Costikyan to Juhana Pettersson


 * According to Petterson, "[The Price of Freedom is] a conservative game designed by a non-conservative designer wishing to sell games to conservatives. [... it] is clearly and explicitly meant to be played by conservative U.S. players living in 1986." Contrarily, James Maliszewski consider that "This isn't exactly a game that takes itself too seriously. […] like Paranoia, The Price of Freedom is actually a well-designed little game."

 * Hello : what do you mean by: ″it was reasonable″?

 * The interview in question is now a dead link. While I personally respect James Maliszewski and would happily use his blog as a source, it has not been judged as RS (yet). Hence the removal of the material in favour of RS sources.Guinness323 (talk) 23:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
