Videogames love pitting players against the moon or otherwise convincing them it's a big problem, and while I loved Pragmata, it only saddled me with more lunar trauma. David Menkin, the actor who played protagonist Hugh, has always loved the big grey rock, but as he mentioned in an interview with Polygon, he had to keep his excitement for the recent Artemis 2 mission under wraps while he was working on Capcom's shooter.
It's not that the embargo specifically forbade him from talking about the moon, but he wanted to post about the coincidence that Artemis 2 and Pragmata's release date were so close together. The full suite of embargoes and restrictions was such a tangle, and Menkin is such a self-described "bad liar," that he felt he had to "fully boot down" so as to not let slip any top secret info.
