Look, I enjoy making Sabrina Carpenter hit the Griddy in Fortnite as much as any 12-year-old does, but I don't want that kind of silliness in every single game I play. Funcom came under fire for including a dragon flamethrower skin in Dune: Awakening – one I actually think looks pretty cool – and it prompted a wider discussion about the aesthetic future of the game. Don't worry, things are going to stay true to the Dune universe.
"Yeah, that's a misstep on our part," Scott Junior, chief product officer and executive producer at Funcom, says to TheGamer when asked about the flamethrower. "Out of context, it doesn't look good. People will need to play The Lost Harvest, and they'll see what we're doing and why we've added this item."
