  • That's true. I've gotten pushback for criticizing Valve and there is a lot to criticize.

    They might be better in some way than other US tech companies, but that's doesn't mean much.

  • Bend the market to your will in the roguelike Insider Trading

    Jump

  • I am curious if that would be possible.

    Generally speaking economic strategy games (tycoon, city-builder, business sims) are a bad fit for the roguelike model; the "core" fans of the genre generally towards enjoying complexity and deep simulation and strategy development.

    That being said, Against the Storm was able to make an excellent roguelike fantasy city-builder, so perhaps a tycoon game would work too.

    That's not the same thing as what you are claiming (that I wish bad things for those Americans who oppose the current regime).

  • Anyone can recommend some good European Indie Devs / Games?

    Jump

  • That's a mischaracterization. Trust me, it brings me no joy to see the US become a chauvinist, criminal oligarch regime. It's a disaster to be honest.

    That being said, you do not want to send money to a regime that wishes you harm and is composed of criminals. Nor is it unreasonable to make an assumption that the dominance of criminal elements is permanent and American civil service will get permanently debased and hollowed out.

    Mind you, this sort of outcome is not surprising and a foreigner living in the US could notice the foundations of such an outcome a decade before Trump.

    Jump

  • I was curious about this game, but I don't do early access / paid alphas for MMOs. There were many warning signs over the years; sales of Star Citizen style expensive JPEGs, the CEOs deep involvement in MLM and the decision to temporarily pivot to a BF game.

    If what is being reported is true, the CEO is indeed a full on scammer and liar.

    The funny thing is the main victims of the Intrepid CEO were other MLM hot shots (one of them sounds like he barely knows how to use a computer, let alone MMORPG gaming).

  • I wish them luck (I genuinely do), but the existence of such people doesn't change that the US will almost certainly remain commited to crime, corruption, chauvinism and demagoguery in the coming decades.

    From my experience this is not purely a US far right issue. As I mentioned in my reply, much of the centre right might oppose the current administration, but they are still opposed to anti-crime reform (if not supporting crime out-right).

  • Anyone can recommend some good European Indie Devs / Games?

    Jump

  • Why is that important?

    As someone who has lived in the US for several years (and who still talks to close friends from there), I think it is reasonable to make an assumption that in the next ~20-30 years there won't any change with respect to support for (and dominance of) crime, corruption, authoritarianism and demagoguery in the US.

    Yhe US centre right party leadership is too corrupt, but also have no experience (or even theoretical interest) with anti-corruption/crime reforms. The party base is too well off (by relative global standards) to ever risk rocking the boat and getting serious about crime, not to mention a non-minuscule percentage of the US centre right voting base (similar to a large proportion of the far right), look up to criminals and oppose improvements to governance.

    In that context, it is reasonable to drop US purchases whenever possible.
