Tbf that was a cult classic that's better than 90% of all the other games that exist, easily. This one's a Tales From the Borderlands-ripoff with some woke bs as its storyline.
@@GorpaDorpOrp don't forget either. These tend to be the same people who are like. ( I'm being bullied and it's wrong to bully people). Just because they are facing criticism for the things they do. Then turn around and say it's ok to bully someone when they don't agree with the cult.
And no explanation on the antagonists, no nuance. Just cops bad, white people bad, America bad. Oh and our little heroes, the supposed oppressed class that's trying to save the day. They're all scumbags that manipulate, steal, and sell drugs. Real classy, Dustborn. Real classy....
Yeah. using "Your kind" to describe a group of people. You know, describtion commonly used by racists or homophobic people. Talk about being what You hate
I guess it means to suggest that refugees and other groups of humans who, by definition, could not take care of themselves without external help will soon be running everything. yay.
In the game you can "Cancel" someone. And they describe it as isolating someone from their friends. It just shows the nice and tolerant side are just bully's. To anyone who doesn't think like them.
@@NoobtooberMan Because the real LGBTQ people and normal people do not play this game. It is a psyop funded by big corporation and government tax dollars. Their mission is to slowly incorporate segregation into the world.
Remember Titan from Megamind? How the "nice guy" was given powers and became entitled. Yeah this is that again but the entitled powered person is the "good guy"
You spot on that Titan is not actually maniacal scheming evil (or fallen good), he is just mediocre, NPC that randomly become influential and given in in his most primitive desires - of fame, self-righteous incursions in life of others, and sexy partners
it's hard to wrap head around it but that's EU in nutshell, they actively try and succeeds in replacing natives with refugees. i have no idea what they are thinking.
That scene with the cops and calling them racist isn't even half of it. It ends where you convince them to shoot each other right there on the spot.... and you're supposed to be the good guys
@@signa8 they tried the based "are we the baddies?" trope but failed miserably... that's the only explanation I could accept with how absurd the situation is
What amazes me most about Dustbin is that even after thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people have heard of/know about the game... the game's peak player count of all time is still 76. How absolutely terrible must something be to have that much attention given to it, yet nobody's willing to buy it.
It's really weird to me, to be honest. With this much attention, you would have attracted a neutral, curious crowd, and also the crowd that really supports the ideas behind the game. I thought that the many likes they get would be a fair indication of their sales on release. So it's strange that nobody bought it, when at least the supportive crowd should give it a try.
As a man with a child and a wife the section of this video where you were talking about your male characters being scared to go out and fight but knowing they have to out of a sense of duty and pride really hit home for me.
"No one forced us to make a game with a diverse cast" just like no one forced them to make the characters as revolting as they are. They chose to be this cruel and malicious with their characters, this is shameful beyond words.
@Shisanon "No one forced us to make a game with a diverse cast." Except if you make it with white people as decent or heaven forbid good people, then you would be ineligible for awards, accused of being horrible, and probably be doxxed. And yes, considering the writing in the game, the white character(s) would probably be garbage as well.

Indeed is like a parody from the band literaly capitalizing the thing they said they figth against, they call thesemfl victims when they are the victimizer, the suppose good girl, manipulate people and her friend, they call thesemlf rebels and outcast when they are not
@@tgiacin435 Unfortunately it's not a parody. These garbage developers really think that they hold true morality. I honestly believe these people are nuts and were able to convince idiots to give them money to make this game.
Maybe the modern audiences were the friends we isolated from their group to gain an advantage in combat all along. My favorite show growing up was Smallville, a show exploring the teenage years of Clark Kent growing into Superman. For the first few seasons, one of the main characters was Pete, Clark's best friend and the first friend he told his secret to. He also happened to be black, but it was never the point of his character. That's how you do diversity. You just have a character exist as themselves without making the point of their character be whatever checkbox they tick. Just make well written characters, good guys or bad. Don't be afraid to paint them as villains or heroes.
So... their large "modern audience" didn't show up to support the game? What a shocker. It's almost like this "modern audience" is only a small portion of the world's population.
@@Constellasian me being black I'm the target audience, but I never asked to be represented. I always just like awesome games, besides they were always diverse.
This game has to be a low key parody, it straight up admits that canceling people, being triggered and normalizing things are just ways to attack people. If it's not parody it's a huge mask off moment.
@@11Megane23perhaps, but their lack of understanding could potentially allow a secret parody to get pass the system. Like how some people got some of mien kompf into a science journal by swapping key phases for the right buzzwords

@@69MindOverMatter69 (From Oxford Languages) Racism: • prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. "a program to combat racism" • the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. "theories of racism" It's inherently negative. What you're describing is more similar to _racial tolerance._
@@69MindOverMatter69 yes I have. On a biological level, there are no differences between black people, white and Asians.

Literally nobody says this but left leaning progressives who are extremists in social ideology. The others who may say it say it in support of a social narrative they think is true and or play the "lets all get along game". I am a black man born in raised in Brooklyn NY, I don't care if no game ever had black people or any from Urban cities, just give me a freaking good game and be quiet. Additionally, these same folks are very hypocritical and offensive themselves by their train of thought. Anytime they create a black character, they're urban or Ghetto-like as if all of us blacks are that OR they are so out of touch with everyday folks they think this weird minority who says "I just want to see myself" can only relate to a stereotypical version of someone like themselves. I relate to Spike Spiegal from Cowboy bebop more than any Black character and Spike is a Jewish Space Bounty Hunter that knows martial arts. I relate to Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia more than any Black character and he's a Japanese kid with fire and ice powers. These same folks reduce people down to just their skin color or surface level attributes, not who they actually are inside.
Yeah, but the type of people who make these kinds of things think those other races should only exist when being weaponized; even when they are of those other races.
Music videos from popular songs around that time also feature quite a lot of groups of black people. At least from what i saw in some old TopPop clips.
@@ghoulchan7525 Don’t forget other popular media. Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Good Times, The Facts of Life, etc; all very popular and full of moments that were memes before we called them that, memes that stuck around for decades as mainstream.
Shows like the Cosby show and Fresh Prince have been major hits decades ago. Michael Jackson is the most popular musical artist of all time. This narrative they have of no POCs being represented until 2016 is a lie.
This is how they really think. This is them feeling safe and secure and powerful enough to show their true face. You quite literally bully, intimidate, gaslight and manipulate NPCs in the game to achieve your ends. And to the creators, that's a good thing. There are no bad tactics, only bad targets. Anything and everything is permissable to fight the enemy, and the enemy is whoever doesn't agree with you. Because to the creators, anyone who doesn't agree with them is morally bankrupt, has no value, and can only do harm. Thus, it is their moral imperative to smash the system, no matter how many people are hurt. They really think they're on the vanguard of a new revolution and that they're in the right.
"There are no bad tactics, only bad targets. Anything and everything is permissable to fight the enemy, and the enemy is whoever doesn't agree with you. " yep that is exactly it, and the irony is they like to label people who disagree with them as n*zis even though this mentality of theirs is the exact mentality that actual real world n*zis used to get into and stay in power.
I completly agree with you. The funny thing is, these are some of the defining traits of fascim, as in the political systems that were established in Italy, Germany and Spain.
When you said "no bad tactics, only bad targets", that made me think "Oh so we can just fire nuclear missiles at whoever we want for hurting our feelings now?" and that is scary.
You mean how the entire gaming media started to gang up on Black Myth Wukong, because the game that is based on an old chinese myth is not diverse enough?
JK Rowling literally just said biological sex matters. Before that she was a progressive/feminist icon, but because she doesn't toe the line on that one issue they act like she is Voldemort now.

Even though JFK was a Democrat, (and even though i wasn't alive to see him) he was the last good president this country ever had. And I will not tolerate anyone slandering his good name.

Holy shit 21:00 You literally nailed the exact crux of the terror and dignity which is masculinity. “I’m terrified of this physical existential threat, but I’m the strongest one in my household by far. If I can’t fight it, everyone else has very bad things happen to them or dies.” It’s both empowering and awful. My complements. You really have thought about it and understand both the dread and honor.
4:30 Not to mention, they are talking about a guy dressed with the outfit of a criminal biker gang, and this happened after the MC and her friends (including said guy) just arrived here riding the bikes they stole from that gang, after throwing molotov cocktails at them. So this is a wanted criminal playing the race card to gaslight the law enforcers. Not to mention, she continues to attack them, until she makes them shoot each other (literally) and has the robot who runs the place (pink apron, blonde wig, in the back of the scene) commit self-destruction so that there are no witnesses
Why does every black female character in games and movies have to be angry or rude? It is not the same as strong and confident, it just signals personal problems and mistakes. It is like they want everyone to know, this is how most black women are. I do not remember when I saw the last a genuine happy and kind representation of a black woman.
the game that was announced a month or two ago with the black woman in the lousiana swamp looks like it could have promise, im really hoping it isn't gonna take the woke route but the trailer didn't indicate it will.
Well, the creator said she wanted to 'see herself', so I wager it's just her own personality. ... that or these people only know the personalities they see online, being terminally online, themselves and mold the characters after fellow social media users and police videos and Karen outbursts.

Video games have progressed a to level of artistic beauty I never dreamed. Still don't have the money, or computing power for the elegance of modern games. This is sad. I'm a member of a minority group, and this trash ain't it. We didn't fight for this. We've lost Star Wars, Indy... to this narcissistic, entitled pox.

Hey, I'm saving up for a combination platform with Centipede/Millipede on it. They are much less expensive now. I remember going to arcades and watching others play too. All my money went to books and food. If I was doing really well maybe a comic a month. But that was decades ago. Thank you for sharing some nostalgia with me, it made me smile.
Indeed, this is sad. Back when game developers cared about players from 1990-2000s until greedy/woke companies lays their rotten finger on any games and turns them into money laundrering and woke ones. :/ It's been years since I avoid any game developed and published by Ubisoft, EA and Bethesda.

They kind of did that with The Fractured But Whole game. There's a part where you face PC Principal and he attacks you if you get the wrong answer about microagressions.
Free my boy Theo. Also that guard at the beginning is based. The main character asks "who pays attention to the lyrics?" I guess no one writing the songs, considering they thought rhyming "new p0rn" with "newborn" was a good idea (Also MC is an abrasive, rude, aggressive single mother and is poor at managing all of her interpersonal relationships and starts fights all the time.

Y'know what's the most tragic thing about Dustbin? The premise where a group of misfits going on a coast-to-coast roadtrip across America for a mission about delivering important cargo looked awesome. Too bad it had to be wasted on this.
Hell, road 96 did a fantastic job of the diverse road trip concept. Was it also a bit tone-deaf political? Yes but the rest of the experience really carries it and the race of your players doesn't matter but you can still tell from the black out portraits etc.
"No one forced us to make a game with a diverse cast," said the devs who took a fuckton of money from those telling them that they'd better say no one forced them to make a game with a diverse cast and very distinct narrative with a very distinct agenda.
I think this is the first video outside of politics that's ever addressed the issues men deal with in any way. I know it was a small portion but it's appreciated
This is why I *hate* the term(s)“People of Color/POC/BiPOC/etc” because all these terms really mean is “everyone who isn’t white.” Can you imagine if there were terms that meant “everyone who isnt black/asian/hispanic/etc?” People would flip out…
I dont like the term because it implies that only if you're anything but white you have a colour, else you dont, as if white is the "default option" and everything else is colour. Idk if I can explain properly express what I'm thinking, english isnt my first language sorry
Tbh that cop is probably the best character in the game. You can also just tell how jaded he is from not being appreciated through his sarcastic tone of voice, he is the real hero of the story.
I have to disagree there have been many politics in entertainment for decades regardless if they're in movies, video games, anime or Manga. The difference is most of them put storylines and character development first, politics later dustborn didn't do that. Also they've been playing video games where you do play as the bad guys
@@animezilla4486 There's a major difference between making a work based on certain political ideas or about questioning political or philosophical ideas, and a work that's exclusively meant to be a propaganda mouth piece for a political ideology. There's also a big difference between games where you play as a villain and the game makes it clear to you that you are a villain and when the game tries to present it as if you're the good guy, but you're very obviously playing as a villain. Don't think you're being entirely honest here.
I miss the time of Afro Samurai, where you could have a black shinobi voiced by Samuel Jackson slaying bad guys while blasting RZA's soundtrack just for the sake of art.
You know you wrote a bad story if people sympathize more with the "bad guys" and want the protagonists to actually fail. The guy saying that entertainment should be politics free is already way more relatable than the main characters
"You know you wrote a bad story if people sympathize more with the "bad guys" and want the protagonists to actually fail" I tend to disagree on that, "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas has the same 'controversy', but regardless if you consider Dfens the protagonist or the antagonist, it's still a great story I think it's more a case that the artists misjudge their audience or that the plot is 'lost in translation' IMO, Falling down is the latter, but Dustborn is the former dialed to 11, devs that genuinely believed that everyone/the majority would be on their side and support the story That by making this 'story', these devs are shown to be about as ideological as certain groups noted in 20th century history is a fact they made blatantly obvious
Do you guys remember the 2nd South Park game? They had this attack called "micro aggression" and it does nothing because it was actually meant to be a joke. Now imagine this game doing the same thing except they weren't joking. That sums up this game in its entirety LOL

I thought this game was supposed to be a parody. Like we weren't supposed to be taking it seriously. But then I learned the US government funded 250k to it. This is putting a hole in my soul.
Except that is wasn't 250k$ and it was not funded by the US government. It was 150k Euros from the "Creative Europe"-grant which set out to "support projects to foster cultural diversity, promote artistic expression, and boost the economic potential of the creative industries". So basically they got that grant, because their game was pushing diversity. But the grant also does not check for quality or how the diversity is portraited. Atleast not when is comes to games. That might change after this game though
@Selnathorn So unfortunately, yes, the US Government did indeed fund it. But most likely not for the reason one would think. Whenever the government funded garbage like this, it's usually used as an example of what negative propaganda is. ETA: EU tax dollars funded it first, so if anything point the blame to them. They know better than that.
10:42 During that interview, the guy was blinking and fidgeting nervously because he had a lot to hide. The game was partially funded by not just the Norwegian government, but by the US government as well, and he was trying desperately to not mention either. Part of the funding came from the Norwegian Film Institute, a government-funded organization in Norway. Another $250,000 USD came from the US Department of State, through the US Embassy in Norway.
Not going to lie, I may legit send some sort of correspondence to my state representatives. Because if this and government task forces to monitor gamers are what my taxes pay for. Then evidently my wishes are not being championed by the elected representatives of my state Also amusing that a game that wants to portray itself as punk and anti establishment is literally funded by the government.
@@ZeroFighter Same, if nothing else I can hope to annoy my state representatives. As an American there is nothing more American than hating the government.

Fun fact: In-game, they say that the politically correct version of "deviants" is "anomals". However, "anomal" comes from the Greek word ανώμαλος (anomalos), which when used to refer to the ground means "not level", but when used to refer to people means "pervert" or "fetishist". In other words, "anomals" prefer being called perverts over being called deviants. Shows how inclusive and thoughtful the devs are of foreigners, considering they didn't even bother researching this simple thing.
Anomal sounds super funky to Greek ears. It literally means pervert, but in a rather aggressive manner. I sure wouldn't go near anyone who brands themselves as an "anomal".
@@mariosskordos9177 Ye, exactly. If someone called you "anomal", it would hit rather hard, even if it's technically not a swear word. You aren't being called just a weirdo or a freak, you are being told people should actively stay away from you pretty much, lmao.
Or how little they understand basic English to be honest: "deviant" sounds more soficticated and less insulting than "anomal", not even considering the origins of the word. And that it is the root word for "anomaly", you know, like "aberration" "abnormal"
The game labels 'gaslighting' as an ability and they use it on eachother and view it as 'helpful manipulative' Then there are abilities like 'bully' and 'cancel culture' which both just fully expose how vile the people who employ them are.
Every clip of this game I've seen have all really made me sick. Damn near everything the MC does is so vile. I've been through an abusive relationship before and to see the MC do all this mental and emotional abuse/manipulation to just about everyone including her so called "friends" and it be touted as not just good, but morally righteous! It's mind blowing! Cherry on top is them being mean to the robots, it like being mean to animals.
"We're the aliens, we're the refugees, we walk among you, we're right behind you, your time is past, your kind won't last.." there's also a line when Pax was practicing, "we will eclipse you.." Those lyrics really give me the creeps as they give a glimpse of what these woke activists intend to do to 'our kind.'
0:41 "this isn't pacifica, people here don't like politics with their entertainment" unironically based. homie basically said "this isn't california, people don't want your 'all art is political' pseudointellectualism.", and they want us to believe that HE'S the bad one?
I also feel like when people make the excuse of “I’ve never seen it before in the past” this representation or diversity it’s because, in the past, no one was as focused on or concerned with diversity as we are today. Back then, diversity existed, I would say just as much as today, but it wasn’t emphasized or highlighted as much because it wasn’t the primary focus or something that was pushed to the forefront like it is now. So people don’t remember games or certain media back then for their diversity but their stories and quality.
But they should have at least noticed, if /they/ are focusing on it. It genuinely makes me wonder if they've seen a lot of movies or played a lot of games. And, they're assuming that because they haven't seen the diversity, it doesn't exist. Honestly super self-centered world view.
I've become quite obsessed with Dustborn. Not enough to buy it but I'm tempted because it has to be the funniest fucking footage I've ever seen in gaming. The unawareness is peak comedy, it's been hilarious

Diversity in small groups never happens. You never see a group with one of each race. It's almost statistically impossible.

This game is an anti-government, anti-discrimination, and anti-establishment statement. While simultaneously relying on a government handout to exist, has more unironic racism than a Wolfenstein game, and is basically parroting the same virtues the far-left establishment has extolling. If this game didn't take itself so seriously it would have been a decent meta-commentary on the hypocrisy of the modern social activist.
JFK? So they know nothing about him save for he was President and died? Or this game really is Parody. Or at lest one person made it that way, and the rest of the team wasn't in on the joke.
the funniest part is that the police officer at the beggining just warned them about the songs lyrics, he didn't force them to change it, he didn't send them to prison for the song, in fact, he was quite professional about the whole thing, even allowed them to pass despite his bias against the song, hell isn't the one thing about inclusion is accepting when a group of people feels offended by your actions, the main characters are offending the entire country with that song and we're still supposed to see the officer as a asshole for pointing that out.

So... if seeing yourself is important and you're happy that you're being represented by an asshole, what does that say about you? Beyond that, I've never felt like I was represented in any game, and you know what? Neither is anyone else because the characters in games aren't designed to represent us. They're mostly meant to be epic heroes. The great thing about games is that we can do things and go places we can't in real life.
Exactly. If anything, characters only represent the human experience broadly. You’re supposed to relate to a character based off of his or her humanity; the idea is that you would have empathy and be able to relate to another human because of this. Beyond that, characters are really just themes personified. The notion that a fictional character needs to represent a vast demographic of people based off of superficial immutable characteristics is so absurd, and even narcissistic.

Maybe the modern audiences were the friends we isolated from their group to gain an advantage in combat all along.

For the first few seasons, one of the main characters was Pete, Clark's best friend and the first friend he told his secret to. He also happened to be black, but it was never the point of his character. That's how you do diversity. You just have a character exist as themselves without making the point of their character be whatever checkbox they tick. Just make well written characters, good guys or bad. Don't be afraid to paint them as villains or heroes.
So... their large "modern audience" didn't show up to support the game? What a shocker. It's almost like this "modern audience" is only a small portion of the world's population.

"a program to combat racism"

I love how this game has gotten nearly as much coverage as star wars outlaws and black myth wukong over the past couple weeks by all the "gaming-news" TH-camrs, has probably gotten tens of millions of views across them all, ...yet with all that publicity, the peak number of players it recieved hasn't gotten past the number when it released of 83 concurrent players. 10+ million views, can't break 100 active players

Y'know what's the most tragic thing about Dustbin?
The premise where a group of misfits going on a coast-to-coast roadtrip across America for a mission about delivering important cargo looked awesome.
Too bad it had to be wasted on this.
Hell, road 96 did a fantastic job of the diverse road trip concept. Was it also a bit tone-deaf political? Yes but the rest of the experience really carries it and the race of your players doesn't matter but you can still tell from the black out portraits etc.
"No one forced us to make a game with a diverse cast," said the devs who took a fuckton of money from those telling them that they'd better say no one forced them to make a game with a diverse cast and very distinct narrative with a very distinct agenda.
"It's not for them"
>Game flops
"Give it a chance, guys! You're being mean!"
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I'll be hated for what I an than loved for what I'm not
So let me get this straight... they made a game that's not for gamers, but specifically for people who don't play video games?... Genius!

I think this is the first video outside of politics that's ever addressed the issues men deal with in any way. I know it was a small portion but it's appreciated
This is why I *hate* the term(s)“People of Color/POC/BiPOC/etc” because all these terms really mean is “everyone who isn’t white.”
Can you imagine if there were terms that meant “everyone who isnt black/asian/hispanic/etc?” People would flip out…
Segregationist Marxists trying to be "kind and tolerant"
Even though white people have color too, the term “white” is arbitrary.
@@Saltasaur Exactly
Referring to someone as colored was offensive then, why is referring to them as people of color seen as good?
I dont like the term because it implies that only if you're anything but white you have a colour, else you dont, as if white is the "default option" and everything else is colour. Idk if I can explain properly express what I'm thinking, english isnt my first language sorry
' people here don't like politics with their entertainment ' how so very true.
In dustbin you play as the bad guys
Tbh that cop is probably the best character in the game. You can also just tell how jaded he is from not being appreciated through his sarcastic tone of voice, he is the real hero of the story.
I have to disagree there have been many politics in entertainment for decades regardless if they're in movies, video games, anime or Manga. The difference is most of them put storylines and character development first, politics later dustborn didn't do that. Also they've been playing video games where you do play as the bad guys
@@animezilla4486 There's a major difference between making a work based on certain political ideas or about questioning political or philosophical ideas, and a work that's exclusively meant to be a propaganda mouth piece for a political ideology.
There's also a big difference between games where you play as a villain and the game makes it clear to you that you are a villain and when the game tries to present it as if you're the good guy, but you're very obviously playing as a villain.
Don't think you're being entirely honest here.
It's like playing Spec Ops: The Line, only the game never reflects your crimes and instead rewards you for being a criminal psychopath
Fallout New Vegas is the way to put politics in your games.
I'm convinced that this game is either the greatest work of satire ever or is made by people who are completely disconnected from reality.
They're leftists, which means that it's more likely the latter.
The Awesome Possum of a new generation.
This was funded by multiple Governments. This is quite literally propaganda. 40s disney cartoon levels of propaganda.
Sadly it's made by people that are simply disconnected from the reality.
They're completely disconnected from reality. They made this game because Trump won the 2016 Election.
I miss the time of Afro Samurai, where you could have a black shinobi voiced by Samuel Jackson slaying bad guys while blasting RZA's soundtrack just for the sake of art.
You know you wrote a bad story if people sympathize more with the "bad guys" and want the protagonists to actually fail. The guy saying that entertainment should be politics free is already way more relatable than the main characters
Well, that depends on what politics we're talking about and what people consider that they are.
Politics are a fools game. Say something fundamental about human nature, or say nothing at all.
"You know you wrote a bad story if people sympathize more with the "bad guys" and want the protagonists to actually fail"
I tend to disagree on that, "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas has the same 'controversy', but regardless if you consider Dfens the protagonist or the antagonist, it's still a great story
I think it's more a case that the artists misjudge their audience or that the plot is 'lost in translation'
IMO, Falling down is the latter, but Dustborn is the former dialed to 11, devs that genuinely believed that everyone/the majority would be on their side and support the story
That by making this 'story', these devs are shown to be about as ideological as certain groups noted in 20th century history is a fact they made blatantly obvious
Do you guys remember the 2nd South Park game? They had this attack called "micro aggression" and it does nothing because it was actually meant to be a joke. Now imagine this game doing the same thing except they weren't joking. That sums up this game in its entirety LOL
"people here dont like politics in their entertainment." Finally someone who speaks English.
Someone needs to mod it so that this is the ending of the game and completely prevent you from playing beyond that.
That's not entirely true there's plenty of politics in entertainment before and after the 2000s

I thought this game was supposed to be a parody. Like we weren't supposed to be taking it seriously. But then I learned the US government funded 250k to it. This is putting a hole in my soul.
@@TrueBlueMajikDewd Along with the EU added to it too, I've heard
It was actually Norway and the EU who funded this piece of crap.
Except that is wasn't 250k$ and it was not funded by the US government.
It was 150k Euros from the "Creative Europe"-grant which set out to "support projects to foster cultural diversity, promote artistic expression, and boost the economic potential of the creative industries".
So basically they got that grant, because their game was pushing diversity. But the grant also does not check for quality or how the diversity is portraited. Atleast not when is comes to games.
That might change after this game though
@Selnathorn So unfortunately, yes, the US Government did indeed fund it. But most likely not for the reason one would think. Whenever the government funded garbage like this, it's usually used as an example of what negative propaganda is.
ETA: EU tax dollars funded it first, so if anything point the blame to them. They know better than that.
@@Selnathorn Did you read the actual qualifications for the grant?
Creepy propaganda.
This game is SOOOOO bad, this is the first time I've EVER considered clicking off an Alteori video just from showing in-game cutscenes alone.

Having watched an entire play through, I'd go so far as to say the message of this game is straight up evil
10:42
During that interview, the guy was blinking and fidgeting nervously because he had a lot to hide. The game was partially funded by not just the Norwegian government, but by the US government as well, and he was trying desperately to not mention either.
Part of the funding came from the Norwegian Film Institute, a government-funded organization in Norway.
Another $250,000 USD came from the US Department of State, through the US Embassy in Norway.
Not going to lie, I may legit send some sort of correspondence to my state representatives. Because if this and government task forces to monitor gamers are what my taxes pay for.

Fun fact:
In-game, they say that the politically correct version of "deviants" is "anomals". However, "anomal" comes from the Greek word ανώμαλος (anomalos), which when used to refer to the ground means "not level", but when used to refer to people means "pervert" or "fetishist". In other words, "anomals" prefer being called perverts over being called deviants.
Shows how inclusive and thoughtful the devs are of foreigners, considering they didn't even bother researching this simple thing.
Sounds about right.
Anomal sounds super funky to Greek ears. It literally means pervert, but in a rather aggressive manner. I sure wouldn't go near anyone who brands themselves as an "anomal".
@@mariosskordos9177 Ye, exactly. If someone called you "anomal", it would hit rather hard, even if it's technically not a swear word. You aren't being called just a weirdo or a freak, you are being told people should actively stay away from you pretty much, lmao.
Or how little they understand basic English to be honest: "deviant" sounds more soficticated and less insulting than "anomal", not even considering the origins of the word.
And that it is the root word for "anomaly", you know, like "aberration" "abnormal"
The game labels 'gaslighting' as an ability and they use it on eachother and view it as 'helpful manipulative'
Then there are abilities like 'bully' and 'cancel culture' which both just fully expose how vile the people who employ them are.
This was an amazing commentary on the world as it is. I appreciate voices like yours.
Every clip of this game I've seen have all really made me sick. Damn near everything the MC does is so vile. I've been through an abusive relationship before and to see the MC do all this mental and emotional abuse/manipulation to just about everyone including her so called "friends" and it be touted as not just good, but morally righteous! It's mind blowing! Cherry on top is them being mean to the robots, it like being mean to animals.
"We're the aliens, we're the refugees, we walk among you, we're right behind you, your time is past, your kind won't last.." there's also a line when Pax was practicing, "we will eclipse you.."

@@jonsolo32 why did it look like a cat😭I couldn’t tell they don’t usually look like that
I also feel like when people make the excuse of “I’ve never seen it before in the past” this representation or diversity it’s because, in the past, no one was as focused on or concerned with diversity as we are today. Back then, diversity existed, I would say just as much as today, but it wasn’t emphasized or highlighted as much because it wasn’t the primary focus or something that was pushed to the forefront like it is now. So people don’t remember games or certain media back then for their diversity but their stories and quality.
But they should have at least noticed, if /they/ are focusing on it. It genuinely makes me wonder if they've seen a lot of movies or played a lot of games. And, they're assuming that because they haven't seen the diversity, it doesn't exist. Honestly super self-centered world view.

Diversity in small groups never happens. You never see a group with one of each race. It's almost statistically impossible.

So... if seeing yourself is important and you're happy that you're being represented by an asshole, what does that say about you? Beyond that, I've never felt like I was represented in any game, and you know what? Neither is anyone else because the characters in games aren't designed to represent us. They're mostly meant to be epic heroes. The great thing about games is that we can do things and go places we can't in real life.
Exactly. If anything, characters only represent the human experience broadly. You’re supposed to relate to a character based off of his or her humanity; the idea is that you would have empathy and be able to relate to another human because of this. Beyond that, characters are really just themes personified. The notion that a fictional character needs to represent a vast demographic of people based off of superficial immutable characteristics is so absurd, and even narcissistic.
