Politicians who insist on this are simply saying that they believe a minimum blood sacrifice must be met before change can be achieved.
They would rather let buckets of your blood be spilled than act.

As it stands for me, kcd2 is a genuinely fun and compelling game to play on its own merits of design and writing. A legit contender for rpg hall of fame.
Kcd1 lays the foundation for those achievements, but is really only playable with precision modding to make its design faults tolerable.

On several years time, I feel like kcd1 will be ripe for a full technical remake.
Right now, to me that would look like the systems and design implementation of kcd2, simply transposed to the game world and narrative of kcd1, and I think it would be worth recommending that. Even replaying it.

Kcd2 blows it out of the water comparatively. To the point that I kind of cannot bring myself to recommend the first game at all. Let alone go back and play through it again
Narratively it's very good and important to kcd2, but the play experience is so extremely rough I can't really get past it.

Consequently it's simultaneously one of the.moat rewarding and frustrating video games I've ever played.

Both games have their share of jank, which is felt a lot lighter in kcd2, but kcd1 is pretty much crippled by it. Quests still break pretty easily, some signposts for potential quest paths are too obscure or unintuitive, the game struggles to hold itself together on a technical level

Similarly kcd1 has a lot of non combat interaction, but is completely littered with dead threats and exposed remains of content that was cut to get the game out the door.
A game I got at launch which is the reason I will never pre order anything ever again. It realised 3-6months undercooked

I use to think combat in kcd1 was simply flawed execution of a missguided concept.
Kcd2 now makes it clear the concept was sound, but I now firmly believe that it's implementation in kcd1 is just fully scuffed.

On one hand both games deliver on one of the best video game RPGs I've ever played (with kcd2 pulling ahead of the first game).
On the other, kcd2's refinements put some design in kcd1 in a much much harsher light.

A direct and full throated challenge to that harm is really the only force to push someone with that attitude to confront it.

My life experience has taught me very thoroughly that the only worthwhile response is to act under the assumption of malice.
In those tiny amount of cases where ignorance is the cause of harm, it's because they simply didn't have a reason to confront that ignorance.
