Slavery: The Game "Become The Most Powerful Slavetrader"

[Rabish Bini]

If this were real, I feel it would be my duty to own a copy.

 

[major28]

SIGN ME UP FOR 10000 copies, this will be the best game ever!!!

 

[Mrmac23]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

This game is rated AO, that is the kiss of death for a video game. Once a game reaches AO it is not allowed to be advertised on television. Followed by the fact that the top 3 would rather chop off a finger than be remembered as the production studio that endorsed a game like this.

So it's okay to make games where you single-handidly kill thousands of people, exterminate other nations, murder civilians, wipe out armies, assassinate people left and right, but it's suddenly very bad if there are slaves.
I probably won't play this game if it comes out, because it seems to be one of those management games, but I see nothing wrong with it.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

Seems like a piss-take to me but if it was real I would play it, it'd be quite an interesting experience. Besides I've already committed genocide against Germans, Russians, Arabs, aliens and other enemies, I don't see why slavery is so awful in comparison.

 

[chach_face]

Is it just me, or does the guy doing VO sound black?

But yeah, xbox and playstation don't release "Adults only" games on their consoles

 

[S-Unleashed]

The fuck? What kind of world do we live in where MegaMan Legends 3 gets the boot, but this peace of crap is green-lighted? The Fuck.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

It's still going to say that that democrats that were for slavery never existed.

 

[lacktheknack]

We can joke about Hitler's ovens but can't even touch the subject of slavery? Get bent.

No, this got censored in quite a few places too.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Is it bad that when I saw the title I assumed it was an H-game?

Yeah this can't be real, but still... Pretty fucked up.

There's a difference between art and blatant constructions. It's like how certain thigns in the fillm industry are denied on their basis.

 

[repeating integers]

This generation's Birth of a Nation?

Except I doubt this'll pioneer any new gaming techniques that promise to become staples of future game design, to compensate for its shittiness.

 

[Andy Szidon]

You think this is bad? There are games where you're an evil demon and whatnot, and you think this is bad? They don't even get dragged to the depths of hell by their worst fears.

 

[Alphakirby]

Huh, I wonder why its rated AO. Maybe its just "slavery is bad, mkay" but that's a terrible reason. Anyways, slavery is bad and all but once if divorce the highly charged notion of slavery from the equation then this is just a sim game with what looks like luke warm and boring gameplay. The only thing it has going for it so far is shock value. Not a good way to make games.

It makes sense,most children wouldn't even realize why a game like this would be so controversal,but adults would.

Ultimately if it does come out,I am buying it just for the sake of saying "Chill the fuck out,if we can have games about murdering tons of people relentlessly and doing other "evil" things,we can have games about anything."

It's just stupid to get upset over a video game,nobody got pissed off by the Hitler based stuff,nobody called a red light when you were causing pure carnage,yet everyone is going to have a fit because of this.

Seriously,if we are to grow up as a group of individuals,we can't let the past cause problems in the future. We're all smart enough to know real slavery is bad and that this is just a game,BUT WHO CARES WHEN IT'S A GAME ABOUT SLAVERY!!!

 

[Nudu]

How outrageously offensive.

 

[Alphakirby]

high budget trolling.

I'm not sure if it was high budget or not,but there was already a game that trolled people.
Or did you forget...

 

[Andy Szidon]

Yeah, the AO rating is why I figured it was a BDSM game; a historic mercantile game wouldn't be so harshly rated just for the cargo. Furthermore, a slave-trade business management sim wouldn't need one to personally discipline their slaves. Also the whip and scourge are implements of discipline (used on a restrained subject) as opposed to the rifle and saber, used generally against armed and unrestrained foes. They wouldn't belong in the same arsenal.

Did anyone notice the 20th century handcuffs? This is looking more and more like anachronism stew.

A real slave-trade game would be about planning your ports of call, between Europe (manufactured goods) Africa (Slaves) and the Americas (Rum, Molasses, Sugar, etc.), and whether you'd sell ordinary (untrained) slaves to North America, or season them through Jamaica and then sell them in the Caribbean. In short, the part about selling slaves would be slightly more controversial than selling rum and tobacco, in that the icon on your ship's roster would be different.

No. This is a silly, silly trolling device to agitate game-haters and oppressed minorities. Hopefully, it will be outed before such groups get played.

238U.

So, it's a BDSM game because it's unrealistic? Does that mean that half-life 2 is a porno game?

[/Sarcasm]

A whole bunch of games have unnappropriate stuff like, about every single browser game or free-to-play game that I notice.

Don't forget, people don't tend to like accuracy.

 

[Hawk eye1466]

I don't know weather to make a joke about how my first thought was not to choose a weapon that would cause lasting harm or just wonder why someone would be messed up enough to make this game.

On second thought yea this is a pretty fucked up game

I am more disgusted by the use of "weather" in the place of "whether" than the concept of a slave-trader game but then again I'm a bad person and does it really take that much effort to put an h at the end of "yea".

Curses! You've caught me!
