They’re both just violent people who want weapons, that’s all the plot that’s been communicated after about 30 minutes of talking and fighting. Game suddenly goes back into intro mode, with a long non-interactive talky sequence arriving in Prague. Long conspirator chat that doesn’t clarify anything.

Let them work the way they like, quick and dirty, but just make sure they write clean APIs to communicate with other programmers. When I work on Godot, I make sure the design and architecture are as flawless as possible. If your game is not different enough to what is out there (in some very clear way), it will fail.
