games are supposed to be fot everyone and a thing to unite people no matter what they think politically

Uh, its a game bro.

its a true demonstration of privilege when you can concieve of politics as something that is minor, unimportant, and unimpactful but games are a transcendent and uniting, meaningful force in the world.
If your political sensibilities can be hurt by a game, but not by the world around you, you are a complete

I basically stopped playing Helldivers 2 because the satire stopped being satire, mostly because of dopes like this
That’s not how satire works
Death of the satirical author
Also game makers are fascists.
looks up from current godot project
what they say fuck me for
Life’s not a game. How about instead of making a game, you make communism?
I expect communism on my desk by Monday. Double-spaced.
luxury automated double spaced communism
but that’s hard
I like the concept, haven’t played, but I’d like to see it go further and be a full Starship Troopers game. Just endless waves of dudes logging in to fight an endless hoard of Bugs, the match never ends, people just die and go back into.the queue to go back in and die as a new randomly generated character. Players will be led to believe if they git gud they can eventually make progress, but naw, kill a bug and another instantly spawns. Just one long pointless PvE FPS match
More games need a meat grinder mode
I’d like an entire game focused on it, but as trends go, I could see it being the new zombie mode. I genuinely think it’s something people would buy into and continue to do after a week in when nerds hack the source code and realize it’s genuinely a hopeless effort. It still gives a similar gameplay experience to any other fps, friendly fire would always be on so people will eventually pvp. If people want games to be art, we should have Dadaist games
games are supposed to be for everyone
games (collective term) ARE for everyone, no one individual game appeals to literally everyone no matter how good or “”“”“apolitical”“”“” it is, that’s why we have lots of them
don’t like this one there’s the door
games are suppose to be for everyone and a thing to unite people no matter what they think politically.
Says who? Hideo Games, CEO of Video Games?
If you make a game just for a single group of people that cuts off a bunch of potential customers that wont want to support the game or your company
Capitalistically speaking, yes. But does Successful Economics Businessman not realize studios hire teams of marketers, psychologists, researchers, consultants, etc. to maximize profits while minimizing risks when taking on potentially risky products?
It’s such a childish view of the world. A child would be forgiven for having such view. An adult should get socked across the face
These people will get mad if you say video games aren’t art. They want it to be called art and held to the level of esteem as art but want all the art stripped out and for it be immune from the exact same critiques all art gets.
You’re right mr ronokoplhatake7463, all political persuasions can unite to
At this point, yk what… someone please, just make a geopolitical game that has you play fictional anti-imperialist, if not socialist states, where its plot basically rails against issues like unequal exchange, compradors and reactionary-minded gusanos, and supports an ideology of critical support and siege socialism…
Pretty sure most gamers aren’t full out NAFO failers or Hasbara-butts. Is this ‘non-political’ for them?
Of course, don’t say anything that relates to modern politics, but merely hint a bit it, gamer brains are too smooth to notice all of them to put 2 and 2…
Maybe it could just an FPS whose politics is the antithesis of Call of Duty…
Put some
in there too. Its existence in games with leftist subject matter completely throws them off.
Oh wait, yeah!
So… Atomic Heart?
No… I think that’s Ukrainian chauvinist game, from what I’ve heard
Edit: I’m idiot, Munrock is Russian…
It’s funny… from the reviews on wikipedia, the game has a liberal ideological lens on the USSR, being bad, yet Ukraine bans it because of its focus on it alone… lmao
Yep, the devs were definitely libs and slapped together a setting to answer the question “what if the USSR won and achieved FALGSC, but it was bad ackshually!!!11” …So take the game with a grain of salt.
Sorry nerd, games have been political and woke since Yars’ Revenge.
ok so by g*mer logic you can’t have politics in your game because it alienates people that otherwise might’ve enjoyed the game… but also you can’t have accessibility options because it’s getting in the way of the author’s intentions? lmao
These dipshits’ ideas of “political” is literally anything that’s different from cishet white male. Crying about how games are supposed to be for everyone but as soon as it’s something inclusive for everyone it’s now “woke mind virus”.
Non political game, metal Gear solid… Dan Ryckert, is that you?
