  • If that other post is talking about the game I think they are, the people faking reviews were the publishing house, not the devs. The devs had been just as blindsided in that incident.

    The publishers of that game (and many other games they published) allegedly had a private group where they gave out free steam keys and required the redeemers to give bogus positive reviews in exchange for the free games. Which is a shame because the game was actually super fun and ran great.










  • Seeing stuff like this hurts to read. Sure a large majority who get hurt will probably be “those people” Sure it’s great it doesn’t affect you personally. It all just sounds incredibly callous and privileged to dismiss the suffering of others.

    My fiancee and her mother have been spending every minute of visiting hours at the hospital. My fiancee’s father has been teetering on the verge of death. Their benefits and insurance are on the cutting block. Upon hearing about this news he mother came to us crying because she doesn’t know what they will do without it.

    These are retired veterans who put in their time and have always voted left and for progressive policies. They are also some of the most caring and supportive people I’ve ever met. My fiancee often jokes that her mom loves me more than my own mother.

    I don’t have any good solution, but it feels like it would be better not to wish for harm to befall people because it doesn’t impact you or any good people you know.
