Yeah I'd definitely be upset 😒
...and wow, that's a lot of money. Maybe someone knows a good copyright lawyer (?) that would look at the case? I have no idea unfortunately 😕

Wait WHAT
I first saw this when I was half asleep and it took me a bit to figure out you didn't just share the same image again.
That's... probably just different enough to be legal? I'd still be ashamed to publish it without acknowledging the original.

I don't love the idea of reviews by people who haven't really played the game, but well-meaning individuals aren't the same as bot farms. And as a player I ignore 1 sentence reviews anyway bc only longer genuine reviews tell me if the game might be for me.

This might be a good place to start if you haven't seen it?

I've read EcoCities by Register and can recommend it! (I'd recommend buying books through a decent bookstore rather than Google though...)

Not directly a call to action and only minimally interactive, but do you know @pfquarta.bsky.social's (and others') Atuel? It felt like it could have been a prologue to All Will Rise 💙

But does the game use any PRONOUNS? I heard pronouns are really bad 😱

This reminds me of how I'd do a round and talk to all the NPCs in @seaphoenixgames.bsky.social's Innkeeping games each in-game day to see if they had any new dialogue - and often they did 💚 Such details are among my favourite things.

FWIW I have this weird issue where if I react to one thing then I feel like I should also react to other things and I shouldn't ignore all the important political stuff being discussed on this site, but I also don't have the energy... So I often end up pretending that I didn't see anything

When I see the Steam AI disclosure for "placeholder art", what I read is "We thought we could get away with it, but someone found out so now we're pretending it was meant to be replaced"

One reason I can think of is that this makes it easier to find out who was responsible for something certain players don't like - say, who "made the game woke" - and personally target them

Absolutely, and I knew that I'd probably be too sensitive for it so I'm not blaming you 😅

I mean, I just survived @jamespatton.bsky.social's Duskpunk without triggering a relapse of my chronic illness, but it was often too much for me to be enjoyable. Others wanted higher stakes though 🤷
I'd also love to feature the game in my curator "Peaceful Adventures and Stories" if relaxed enough 💚

The more I learn about the behind-the-scenes of indie games, the more I understand that. They are really good at keeping gamers just content enough though, and the community features seem like they *are* good for spreading the word about games.
