Don't get me wrong, I think being a marxist in the year of our lord is goofy, but being one is not the same as being a screeching ugly vERAfied mass of retardation.

Goofy? The ideas anad philosophie of Marx was basically the inspiration of MAO and Stalin to kill tons of people Compare to them Hitler was a child.

Meanwhile I did not noticed they gave a shoutout to Marx and Engles. Yeah I will not buy the game anymore. Just like I do not buy a game from a developer giving a shoutout to Hitler or Erdogan

Disco Elysium Developers Shout Out Marx And Engels In Game Awards Victory Speech

During the speech for their second win of the night, ZA/UM, the team behind Disco Elysium, gave a special thanks to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the authors of The Communist Manifesto.

Maybe they're just into philosophy. At no point in the game did I feel anyone was pushing Marxism on me. In fact the game dunks on it pretty hard.

That's debatable at best and you have a pretty tenuous connection if anything, while with modern woke people it's 100% unadulterated retardation.

So much brain power...…….

What would cause this young lady to stretch her veins and eyeballs to it's maximum limit? She is about to pop...…...Hope it's a worthy cause......Though, if you are so triggered, the cause can't be that healthy now, can it?...…...

 

[iorek21]

Currently playing it... the game doen't push us into any ideology, in fact, you can choose to anyone you want

Oh there's nothing healthy about that image, that much I assure you lol.

Cool yeah sounds like choosing ideologies is not a thing I want to do in a video game tho.

I can admit there is a place for games like Papers Please and whatnot but not have any interest in playing them myself.

Really, really need this game on console!

They're really not *just into philosophy*. They see themselves as a socialist movement even before they got into games development:

ZA/UM is a cultural movement uniting artists, writers, entrepreneurs and socialists, established 2009. Named after the Russian futurists' language of gods and birds it does popular and avant-garde. Creates and markets. In 2014 ZA/UM started Nihilist.fm - an online publishing platform. In print media, ZA/UM has published four national bestsellers.

It's still an amazing game. But yeah, they're the real deal. Full blown communists.

It's simple a question of if you can seperate the work from the artist. As the work itself isn't a problem here and they don't push their particular ideology (yet). But, I certainly can understand people that won't buy it out of principle.

He should have flicked her Adam’s apple.

 

[Fuz]

Full blown communists.

Cold war propaganda really played a trick on your minds.

 

[Teslerum]

Uhm, what?

They identify as communists according to themselves and what about saying that is cold war propaganda?
Especially since I didn't grow up confronted with cold war propaganda at all. Bit before my time.

 

[Kagero]

Game looks very nice, but if you hate reading then this might not be the game for you.

 

[DrJohnGalt]

I like the fact that it (supposedly) doesn't push an ideology thru gameplay, but if the devs are going to shout-out Marx and Engles at an awards show they're not getting my money. As fun as this looks, I've got more than enough other stuff to keep me busy.

 

[Mato]

Am I the only one who isn't impressed? I quit the game about 10 hours in. It's ok but I'm not sure what all the raving is about, it's not that special of a game.
