At least he’s pretty based for someone in the niche of nerdy ass games. He said BLM during the 2020 protests and during the Palestinian protests in ‘21 he said Free Palestine, that US was backing an apartheid, and gave a bunch of resources to donate to Palestinians. Good guy and you should purchase his game because it’s pretty cool.

In addition to his support for Palestine and BLM, someone on the forums tried to get him to condemn the Russian invasion and he basically said that it’s not as black and white as previous issues and he doesn’t think he would be able to bring much attention anyway, given its mainstream penetration. Obviously a thoughtful guy. I want to try to get him to read Marx for the economic update.

the economic update

I like that his original economic simulation was deep enough that it fucked the game up for completely Marxist reasons (over time Dwarves wouldn’t get paid enough to afford their own apartments, among a host of other problems) and he cut it out of the game because it wasn’t fun, making the Dwarves some kind of centrally planned AnCom society with a nobility.

I wonder how much of that is him projecting our current, market-based system backwards. Land entering the market with economic rents, thus forcing workers to depend on the market for survival and reproduction, is the basis of Capitalism.
