I'm sorry, is this some sort of gamer joke that I touch too much grass to understand?
yeah so basically the outer worlds game is a really, really lib satire of space capitalism where the game's "good" solution to each planet's problems are either centrism or replacing the bad capitalism (outdated 1900s capitalism pastiche) guy with the good capitalism (ethical capitalism where workers are off on the weekends!) guy
the tweet is a reference to another game that their CEO said was going to be 80 dollars and then walked it back to 70 dollars, so they're doing a really shitty joke "haha guys remember when that OTHER game set their game price too high and hiked it back?" while selling their game for seventy dollars
A lot of the missions are like that, but some of them are like a choice between: begrudgingly giving all power to a mustache twirling capitalist and then everything is boring, but safe
Or you choose a local union or anarchist or something and they instantly fuck everything up and make everyone mad, but you'll probably get to shoot a lot of people so who can say if this is good or bad
