Wait, so the “controversy” is that they promoted their game by referencing a negative review of a competing game?

Sorry people are being so political and painting you as a racist over an accent.

Brace yourself: I’m mexican.

Ask him the exact same question a few more times, jackass.

A) Most voter suppression is not physical. It comes in many many forms including BS voting propaganda and shady local voting laws.

If you want a majority of people to simply ignore your plight instead of a few already knowledgeable people nodding in agreement, sure. This game is really only effective to people already knowledgeable on voter suppression. People not knowledgeable either won’t get it or will think its over exaggerated.

Ah, nothing like exaggerating a truth to the point where people don’t take is seriously. Trump adopted the same kind of tactics so clearly it works. I like the idea of using a game as a political statement, but there isn’t much actual education to this. You kind of already have to be knowledgeable in voter suppression…

The point is to exaggerate the truth of a topic until people don’t take it seriously?

What I like about the New York Times is their balanced approached to nuanced issues. I mean, I know the Times is trying to say something, but I can’t quite figure out the subtext here. Solid solid journalism.

This is the edgiest shit since hanging chad jokes

I like the idea, but I think the game is too exaggerated. It kind of undermines the accuracy of the issues it’s bringing up by basically making it seem like it’s completely impossible to vote unless your a white programmer. I completely agree that voter ID laws and similar tactics to disenfranchise minorities are…

Now that there’s been time for comments to come in most people are disagreeing with the writer on this one. I also think this article is off the mark.

You must new here. Welcome to Kotaku/Gawker

I’d say Press X/F to pay respects was so famous because that’s literally what it said on the screen. The game is explicitly telling you to push a button to feel emotions.

This is way better than “press X to pay respects”. What the hell are you talking about?

Planet earth. Welcome stranger.

Rating the attractiveness of the opposite sex is normal and healthy. Calling it rape is a deviant mind.

Come on. That’s elementary school shit. Except back then we used the word “cute” and thought dating meant holding hands and talking about popular cartoons.

It’s not shitty, but quote normal. And developmentally appropriate. What planet do you inhabit boys don’t talk about girls?

I can’t give you enough stars. I backed RimWorld on kickstarter. Both the game and Tynan Sylvester are fantastic.

The fact that someone is trying to sullen this game by deconstructing the code and looking at how it calculates relationships is kind of sickening. Tynan works so unbelievably hard and there are literrally…
