1979 Revolution: Black Friday attempts such a feat."
Need more political indie games in your life? Don't want to pay full price? You're in luck, this fantastic steam bundle is right up your alley.
Hahahahahahahaha
I like it when they tease the weaknesses and insecurities of gamers.
[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.
gross. can i just go back to shooting aliens and saving princesses.
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 is a suspenseful, narrative driven, action/adventure game set in the gritty true events of 1979 Iran.

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."
