what you don't like games about anarcho-capitalist hellscapes shove down your throat that centrism is the answer
oh yeah and pretty sure eugenics is in there too. anything resembling leftism is just a cult. i'm probably missing more disgusting messaging from that game
lol the alt history divergence point is no reformist U.S. president in the gilded age
never in my life has a game screamed more for a worker's revolution but that choice is off the table. after all, the smart people need to be saved to save the stupids.
oh and the gameplay was mid too
The only kinda funny part (plz no ban for sectarianism) was the game saying anarchists don't read
lol i think you are good they were purely a religious cult that just wanted revenge.
Everyone who's against the corporations is either a cult leader or a murderer, so the truth is somewhere in the middle
I think the worst part of me was the Bill Gates/Elon Musk Good Corporation guy, I thought he was definitely going to turn out to be the worst of them all but noooo, just the opposite.
I've seen the complete double inversion done in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. nice-guy CEO of space mega-corp actually "jk, we are a worker owned mega-corp helping to crush the others in a global cyberpunk communist uprising".
So I was yearning (or desperately hoping) for that at first. Something like, I do the thing and then he gives control to his employees or the nascent unions.
but nope, just a "Good Boss" tm, wouldn't you rather the competent guy in charge??
it was like the DNC made the game's themes and story beats. or maybe the abundance libs, really the most Silicon Valley "left" coded bullshit I've ever seen
