like oh wow ur game about exploring an untouched world where the punchline of every "joke" is that you're being exploited by an unfeeling corporation? man that's so unique that nobody who read that sentence realized I was talking about Journey To The Savage Planet because there's so fucking many of them

You know what I want? Universal jail time for all gamers

But if I'm not gonna get that, I want games that take place in a world we'd want to live in where the objective is to help it remain as such.

If someone pitched to me a GTA game set in a horrible word not worth living in the way they all are, I wouldn't care what city it's set in. It's been done. If someone said, "hey we're gonna make a GTA game except it's set in a nearly post-capitalism world and your objective is to try to protect your city from incursion by the forces of reaction" I'd buy that shit up so fast.

TLDR; why doesn't an inherently reactionary industry just pander to me? :/

      yes there were, by the 1980 there was a 1:1 parity of women to men in programming jobs which, as stated, plummeted back to the level of 1950 by the end of the decade. You've eaten the honey, comrade, their sexist propaganda has worked on you

          yes it is. They had statistics back then, the 80's was on the back-end of two decades of coordinated leftist action, they did a really good job of increasing female representation within STEM fields. Im guessing from ur name that u wanna look cool by denying anything based has ever happened in the US but denying the work of past leftists, even if their work was undone, does nothing but disservice the comrades who came before us.
