Yes! WRSR is such a good game. Damn, now I wanna play it. Actually, now I want multiplayer, that would be cool.

Gaben is bourgeoisie, what did you expect?

He owes me another left4dead

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Well I expected them to be more creative. This is just “games about money which is epic”

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

I haven't read "Gaben" in a decade.

mega hyper cringe, causing runaway cringeflation, crashing the cringe markets and dropping society into a cringe depression

He's a libertarian billionaire lmao of course he has shit takes. This is still better than during the George Floyd protests when lower-level employees wanted to make a pro-BLM statement and he shut it down in favor of "neutrality".

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

He instead gave everyone $10k and suggested they give it to social justice orgs but it wasn’t mandatory

I mean yeah but that's just giving money to bigots/libertarians who will at best do nothing and at worst result in them donating money to far-right causes. If he cared they'd have Valve give the money out directly.

Oh boy, I hope The Tenants is included in this!

Become a landlord and deal with problematic tenants as you build your rental property empire. Decide how to react to annoyed neighbors or police interventions. Will you design your apartment for a group of gamer friends or an aspiring musician looking for a new home?

I have this tagged with Villain Protagonist lmao

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

also sorry to be that guy but we know that gabe newell, the ceo of the company, does not directly dictate the theming and marketing copy of sale events, right?

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

I imagine he got a memo about it and approved it in the middle of his Dota 2 sessions at work

the webpage crashes, i can't even see it

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

that's weird, it's a pretty normal itch.io page. maybe conflict with a browser extension?

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

huh, seems to be all the game pages. Maybe it's a firefox thing? Not sure

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

i'm using firefox. maybe it's conflicting with a browser extension?

Far be it from me to defend a billionaire, but primitive collection as a style of game seems innocuous enough to me. This would be games like lemonade stand simulator, right? Your harvest moon and Dave the Diver to some extent.
