New record breaking game being icky as fuck
(store.steampowered.com)
Steam, lemmy and reddit are currently creaming themselves over a game which devs makes multiple really cringe "jokes" about slavery and exploitation. Read the steam page descriptions.
Those "pals" are clearly antropomorphised creatures being dogwhistle for humans. And if you read the game reviews, even the g*mers are not lost on that fact (just they love that):
No, definitely not, it's the edgy g*mer libertarianism all over both shop page and comments.
If that seems to be the case than I'm gonna try my best to ignore the game. Hoping the hype will die down in next month or so because I was already sick of hearing about the game before it was even out.
I was trying to do a benefit of the doubt. As an example, I like factory games because the logistics and optimizing aspects makes my brain happy but I can see viewing them as "Capitalism/infinite growth" simulators. But I digress. Palworld sounds shit.
If Tem-Tem died in a month but this gets to live longer, that's my proof that God is dead and crackers killed Her
Lmao. I totally forgot about TemTem.
I'm just now realizing where I picked up my recent habit of referring to peers as g*mers.
