        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

    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".

        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

        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 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.

    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.
