i've been watching various streamers play Detroit: Become Human

the idea that human-like androids could take over significant parts of society (including cops and the military) to cause 37% human unemployment before android abolitionist laws or a revolution happened in the US is pretty laughable. in the game they show barely any homeless people or protests. if this were real life there would be so many homeless people you'd have to use a canoe just to get through the streets

Any other fans of Obisidian Entertainment want to have a read of Chris Avellone talking about the fucked up employment and ownership shit that went on there?

99% of this is impossible for me to care about since it's a capitalist whining about being "de-ownered", but i appreciate another example of someone trying to hire their own minor-age children at their privately-owned business because an accountant tipped off the parent that they're allowed to deduct their kids' paychecks on their taxes

it is imperative to crush the bourgeois revisionism of "worker's self-management" in any way one can... under contemporary conditions our task is analysing the californian game developer and his fucked up 401K situation

Russian Campaign is the fourth and last campaign of Empire Earth. It is based on the fictional country Novaya Russia, and set in the near future. It is made of six scenarios and is generally considered the hardest campaign in the game. During the campaign gameplay you switch through many ages: Modern Age, Digital Age and Nano Age.

The offical description of the campaign is: *"Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the proud state of Russia struggled to find its place in the new world order. But after 25 years little forward progress was made. Now, street-wise young man named Grigor Illyanich Stoyanovich is promising to return Russia to its rightful place as a powerful and respected nation. In his heart burns the ambition to build the greatest empire ever seen on Earth."

I think I may have cracked the code:

In 1993, a group of offended parents sued a school which had provided the game to students and MECC, the developer. The game was pulled off the market as a result.

remembering how the Warcraft 2 level editor let you tamper with the stats of units & i created a peasants’ rebellion mission followed by a race to fortify your position against the imminent foreign-backed white army invasion

this is a good article about how MECC grew as a wildly successful and admired state agency developing educational and easily-distributable software, was privatized in the early nineties, made a few hundred million bucks for investors, then was shuttered before the decade was over

miriam always build all these shitty little bases in crap locations and terraforms like garbage, then fills them up w useless cannonfodder troops that serve no purpose but to trigger gamecrashing bugs that firaxis never bother fixing



ofc the nature of this linked unit bug is such that it only happens late game after you've already dedicated beaucoup time and effort into it
