Anyone have any favorite subversive/leftist games? There used to be a great one about the apple supply line where you had to move the nets to catch the guys jumping out of the factory in china and throw the e waste in a dumpster fire in pakistan. Banned from the app store of course lmao.

I’ve heard the ending is lib but what I have seen of Hardspace: Shipbreaker is extremely based and pro union.

The ending is pretty much just

spoiler

the union wins some popular support and gets legal concessions from the weak state, forcing the company to the negotiating table when the workers go on strike. Things get a bit better for the union workers and some of the worst problems get stopped, but ultimately the struggle doesn’t stop just because of a single strike.

It’s actually less idealist and more grounded in what the striking salvage workers could actually accomplish: the gains they make are their own and they don’t get more because people settle for less and it was never a revolutionary movement in the first place, just people desperate for even the bare minimum of concessions.

came here to mention this one, I’m still at the beginning, but not only does it have a based and pro-labor message, it’s also a really fun game, breaking down the ships is always a fun puzzle
