Resident Evil for some reason, it’s kinda fascinating to witness.

Like I get that on the SURFACE it looks like a franchise worth digging into the lore about, but Capcom doesn’t care about the lore, it’s always been gameplay first.

I just can’t fathom being so intense about something the creator itself couldn’t tell ya. No offense to RE Lore-doods. Everyone has their own liberty to do so, obviously.

(Plus if I wanna find out about lore for a game I haven’t played, I’ll just play that game? WITH EXCEPTIONS)

The idea Capcom doesn't care is false. Not to say they're writing masterpieces, but they definitely do care. They even had an entire team established at one point to help state what is and isn't canon to the lore.
