[-] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] JK1348@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

He owes me another left4dead

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year 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".

Literally :steamfront:, why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah idk you'd think the story would take off, but gamer-gulag gonna gamer-gulag, I guess. I only heard about it because I'm subbed to an indie gaming news youtube channel because the people involved already made boardgame content I like. They're decent, if a bit lib.

The segment in question

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I have this tagged with Villain Protagonist lmao

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Everybody disliked this

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 1 year ago

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

[-] Lurkerino@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I have loved playing strategy games and economic simulators since childhood, they built my understanding of resources and economies, but I always felt strage how the population and workers didnt matter.

Playing tropico 4 I made a communist paradise, and now Im playing workers and resources soviet republic.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

the webpage crashes, i can't even see it

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

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.
