3.3 million American dollary-doos later, Broken Age releases, literally half finished, crammed to the brim with social justice ideology that would make even Tumblr cringe. It's a pretty sad day when someone like Tim Schafer releases a game where the only remotely likable character is a talking robotic spoon.
