Hahahahahahahaha

I like it when they tease the weaknesses and insecurities of gamers.

"The forced inclusion of politics in this 'Animal Farm' game is truly like something out of George Orwell's 1984. Keep woke politics and virtue signaling out of Animal Farm or you won't get my money."

O pessoal não consegue enxergar que as próprias opções são políticas. Todo e qualquer game é uma seleção de opções políticas e ideológicas dos seus criadores. Se elas combinam com a nossa concepção de mundo, elas soam como isentas. Se discordam se assemelham como inclusões forçadas.

No fim, é só um problema de cegueira.

[incoherent rambling about why politics should not be allowed in media I like even though politics have always been present in media I like such as Bioshock, Blade Runner, Silence Of The Lambs and even Star Wars]

People have become hyperaware and cry about politics in new stuff, but somehow manage to ignore it in everything that came out before 2014. The cognitive dissonance is amazing.

It's always interesting to see how people react when you tell them that George Lucas himself said that the rebels were a nod to the Vietcong, that the imperial empire represents America and that Palpatine in the prequels was based off Richard Nixon. "Keep your radical politics out of the OG trilogy, George!" haha.

before you get your panties in a bunch , i think with these types of games can exist in the market but seriously, who the hell plays games such they can get more political social commentary? dont you get enough of it on facebook, twitter and all msm?

1979 Revolution: Black Friday Review | NZGC

Blair writes: "I have harped on and on about how much I loved the indie game scene, usually because it allows people to unhinge their minds and let pure creativity flow. The other huge benefit is that small teams can develop a game to tell their story and views, without money diluting or removing it. Nothing could be truer about 1979 Revolution: Black Friday."
