How the hell does a game that isn't even released have an annual convention?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

So people can show off their Jpegs that cost more than a car, and so Chris Robert's can pat them on the back and ask for more

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It has an annual convention for the same reason it has internet spaceship jpegs (some are playable while many are not, even years after first sale) for hundreds or even thousands of dollars each. capitalist-laugh

Chris Roberts already fancies himself the E~L~O~N of his own space fascist fantasy fiction:

oh no.. no no no.. i don't need to know any real things about this guy.. please don't make me know things about him

They're only fictional things, rest assured, about how he's actually going to save humanity by bringing the light of consciousness to the stars and that his bazinga tech corporation will continue to be the biggest and bestest corporation even when there's occassional little issues like child laborers getting killed.

In 2757, in response to the death of Anthony Tanaka, a twelve-year-old boy's refusal to work, RSI CEO Avel Gedima acknowledged the sad death and ordered a complete evaluation of all RSI facilities to make sure that they were adhering to all health and safety standards.

i mean real things about how awful of a human he is to create lore about himself being some sort of savior

this hurts me

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I admit it hurts me a little, too. It's disturbing to see such a blatant overt narcissist receiving close to a billion dollars all by wrangling the hopes and dreams of aging gamedads.

It has been playable for years.
