What to Do When Your Video Game Gets Co-opted by Neo-Nazis

Too bad nobody knows how Victoria 2's economy code works anymore. If 3 happened, it'd be simplified and full of mana buttons.

Which is a shame because Victoria 2 is old poo-poo by now and needs a serious reworking of pretty much everything. Prestige-based trading is dogshit. The diplomacy system was fine for its time but EU4 blows it out of the water, except for that EU4 doesn't try to represent spheres in any way (the one thing Vicky did really well). The warfare system is basically fine, typical Paradox, but starts to fall apart as you get into the 1900s. An actual economist on Reddit picked through the economic system and explained how it is so bad that it cannot not collapse in the late game and it's a wonder it even functions. There's no representation of leaders; that last one isn't a necessity, but it's really odd that every Paradox game has, at a minimum, heads of state, but Vicky doesn't have them.

The game would benefit massively from being completely reworked, preferably with an economist contracted to design the economic system, but even if Paradox made it now I doubt I'd want it. At this point I think we might end up needing a total conversion mod of IMPERATOR ROME, of all things, to build Vicky 3 out of.

Just accept strategy games are effectively dead going into the 2020's. Everyone wants mass appeal and youtuber memes, which means lowest common denominator.
 
Have we really reached the point where companies bitch about how players aren't playing single player games they paid for the "right" way? Especially coming from a hack company like Paradox, which releases broken games riddled with DLC and expects modders to do most of the heavy lifting anyway.
 
If I had a game that neo-nazis co-opted, I would tell people that they're insignificant bugs that don't deserve attention and stop falling for their taunts cuz they're not looking for people that agree with them, they want whiners that think they're a threat when they're not. Fucking morons, I'll, whisper under my breath.
 
Can't at least whitey have freaking Video Games? Geez.

Ah. K.

Edit: I really don't want to do the old song and dance of looking up Twitter and search for the term, but one need to consider that the authors are always like this. It's like they hate fun or something. I will be mildly skeptical of them when they talk shit of my group, namely Medieval nobility.
Dunno about kike, but reading that article he sounds too pozzed for the loos in the gayest of gay bars. Also to deal in the really obvious, if you call some centre right dim Tim's history hobby neo-nazism, may he'll decide that he is a neo-nazi and there's nothing wrong with that.

It is an area where it could be feasible to make a small budget but passionate game.
  • The presentation doesn't need to be fancy, only the mechanics and the fluff of the game.
  • The audiance is really passionate which makes crowd funding and long shelf life possible
  • because it's a niche game one can go really crazy with the actual complexity of the game. (The wider audience won't play a grand strategy game, period.)
  • There could be an overall friendly symbiosis between the dev and the playerbase, it's not a toxic PvP game after all.
Dunno about one of Trump's Chosen People, but reading that article he sounds too pozzed for the loos in the gayest of gay bars.

These guys seem to have a complain quota. Same as the article farms in Bangladesh making the listticles for buzzfeed just more malicious.
 
I forced my black t****y college roommate to let me play his review copy of Crusader Kings 3 by beating the s**t out of him while calling him the N-word and reminding him that he's not a real woman, and now it's my new favorite video game because it lets me genocide all the subhuman non-white n****rs, s**cs, k**es, sand-n****rs, c***ks and g**ks. - N****R A** PEE POOPY R**E
 
My only take on this is if they run off all the neo nazi's that loved Crusader Kings 2 then who the fuck is going to play this game? Actually that would be the funniest fucking result from this, if they went out of their way to make it not appeal to white supremacists and it flops harder than a sperm whale on the beach. I gave CK 2 the college try a few times and hated it, can't get into it, but now I am anxiously awaiting September 1st just to be able to compare the number of people playing CK2 to the number playing CK3
 
  • Agree

Subtle philosophical posts like this are my reason for coming here.

I'm sure CK3 will have a CK3 Captain Sweden dildo achievement.

I really don't know? Sell my other games to them perhaps?

Neo-Nazis aren't exactly known for their employability or their disposable income. That said, they're not exactly known for their financial savvy either.

What's always baffled me about stuff like this when a corporation. who's sole purpose should be to put out a product people want so they can make money, deviate and instead try to implement some kind of activism because of a small minority group that is "icky" in their customerbase. If you really hate nazis and think everyone right of Che Guevara is a nazi, wouldn't you want to suck away as much money from them as possible? And even if morons like the chucklefuck writing this article say you're enabling them, just say what the end-user does with our game is't our problem and be done with it.
 
Myths about medieval European history are important to white supremacists. This community imagines a past in which Europe was solely racially white, isolated from outside influences, entirely patriarchal, and organized militarily against threats from non-Christian brown people. In fact, none of these beliefs about the Middle Ages are true,

Whew, not even a paragraph in and I already see some problems. Medieval Europe was mostly white. There may have been some slave trading that brought in brown or black people, but for the most part, 99.9% of people were white. And yes, it was extremely patriarchal. Women among the royalty were either treated as status objects to be traded like cattle, or were given less opportunities to rise up the ranks, since kings prioritized passing on the crown to their sons over their daughters. And for military actions against Muslims, has this fucker ever heard of The Crusades?

God damn, if you can't even get basic history facts right, why should I bother reading the rest of your diatribe?

Edit: Read a little further, and the guy claims to be a "Medieval Historian."
