FUCK YOU GABEN
I'M GOING TO PLAY WORKERS AND RESOURCES SOVIET REPUBLIC 🖕🖕🖕
Yes! WRSR is such a good game. Damn, now I wanna play it. Actually, now I want multiplayer, that would be cool.
they break the mould sometimes, the shit they've done for the open source community way helped hawk Linux and libre software to semi-competant-with-tech fuckheads who like playing video games
and yes Richard Stallman is one of you except he eats foot fungus, is a paedophile apologist, and despite all of this made markedly fucking huge contributions to this world
Well I expected them to be more creative. This is just “games about money which is epic”
that well-known economic structure called capitalism
Gaben is one of the deities in the pantheon so of course he has to present shit in that insufferably smug condescending way
He's also some kind of libertarian, isn't he? Smugness is a prerequisite for adopting that ideology.
Valve gave employees $10,000 and told them they ‘should’ donate it to racial justice organizations lol
For some reason I’m thinking the “Pantheon of the Shiftless” would be a cool hidden boss rush challenge in an leftie Dark Souls.
mega hyper cringe, causing runaway cringeflation, crashing the cringe markets and dropping society into a cringe depression
capitalism is when currency, and the more currency there is the more capitalismer it is
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?
Yeah idk you'd think the story would take off, but gonna , 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.
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?
redemption if the cover art is just a bunch of but we all know that's not gonna happen
lmao, is that a new emoji? What's the code for it?
edit: nvm, it's porky-point
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?
I imagine he got a memo about it and approved it in the middle of his Dota 2 sessions at work
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.
that's weird, it's a pretty normal itch.io page. maybe conflict with a browser extension?
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.
