    This is like those people who play crusader kings and become unironic monarchists. Goes to show that completely controlling the message of your art is impossible.

      because of the game, I cringe when parents call their daughters princesses.

        late reply, but i hate the trend of calling men "kings" and women "queens". like, i get the idea behind it is good, but just can't stand it.

      Monarchists deserves to be called cuck. Imagine supporting a system where you will have absolute zero chance to ever be a part of. At least in other reactionary shit the chance is still very small but never zero.

        At first they're marketing the game as this gritty critique of the private prison industry with the bleak campaign and all.

        But sometime they abandoned that and retools the game into a haha funny prison game.

          I love that one lads like "this is supposed to be about extremists but they're just singing about protecting their homes".

          Ye man, real extremists would sing songs where they profess to be bad dudes who do bad things becuase theyre villains, and the chorus would be "we are real pieces of shit oh yeah fuckin kiiillllling".

    Having played that game it took me all of 30 minutes to actually have a bit of an epiphany about just how pointless and terrible prison is.

    I knew before of course but once you are done with building the place and getting the prisoners in there and you get some you realize: "Oh boy, this is day three and the first guy I got in here gets released in 2 years. The boring-ass days I just saw are going to be everything these virtual people see for years."

    Anyone who comes away from that game thinking this is cool is a psychopath.

      How do you spend this much time playing this game. Like it’s an OK builder with an interesting twist (and bad politics) but the scope of what you’re able to accomplish is pretty limited.
