But it gradually gets worse until, by the higher-level tip missions, she's actively committing violent crimes herself.
Even so, Flambeaux becoming a glory-hog vigilante before turning to outright villainy is a relatively recent occurrence which started with Issue 18 (when Tip missions were added), but Flambeaux herself has been in the game as a Hero since Issue 7 (when Mayhem missions were added, four years earlier).

So when she was named, there was nothing in the game that suggested that she was going to become a villain, or even anything in the game that let you "down and down". As I said earlier, I don't think she had much of a personality at all until she started appearing in Tip missions.

Using UniqueDragon logic, the statement you make here is "the game will be unavailable to the British philosophers". Which is OK because there's so few of them these days (there's so few philosophers at all these days, which is sad) and also I doubt any of them play City anyway.
