I always thought that Mafia was a standard crime game.

"Now if you could work with other ethnic gangs to make money, compete for turf, forge alliances etc I am all for that."
"I just don't want to see a game claiming to be mafia based when in reality it isn't structured like the mafia at all. Like why are there non mafia members at a mafia execution? What mob boss would order and allow other associates especially a woman to be present in witnessing that?"
Don't you think these 2 statements are contradicting each other?
I think the creators will still have the LCN attributes in perspective but the main focus is revenge and forging a new crime syndicate.
