Someone I knew in college wanted a concentration camp management sim. It's only a matter of time at this point.
I'm starting to believe it.
I'm starting to believe it.
He wanted it so he could free them every game and shut the camp down right?
....RIGHT?

According to Steam, it was released on August 27th, 2015.
The release of the game was 2013.
I'm sure its supposed to be a legit history based educational game, but there are legit issues to have with this.

No not really but thanks for trying.
Yup, The way they try to cutesy it up is offensive. If you want to talk about such dark time in our history then show how horrible it was and make sure you influence and teach people that it was not a good and happy time.
I don't understand people, I really don't. Who is the fucking target demo for these games? Better yet what was the thought process even for making them?
"So Paul what should we have in our Slavery Game for Education?"
"hmm....Maybe fitting slaves onto the boat tetris as a mouse cheers you on?"
"Paul that's fantastic, we need ideas like that on our Plague game project!"

So legit. I always knew Mr. T was embracing his African heritage when he made that catch phrase.
Yeah, I'm not sure their motives are really at issue so much as how tone deaf it is to have a game supposedly exploring the horrors of slavery and then having the player play Slave Tetris in a game replete with cartoon graphics.
I'm still waiting for the plague one, even though having the mouse as a companion on that one, seems really misguided.

Well, it's aimed at little kids, no?
So legit.

I'm afraid that's much more thought provoking than what he actually wanted.

I'm confused. What happened in 2013 and what happened in 2015?

To me it looks like this game is trying to target a younger audience in a horrible and offensive way rather over anything else.

That was actually the first game. PH3 is Vikings.
Their site seems pretty legit. They do a lot of technical animation, and have some games designed to help treat PTSD.

It may well be, but do you want a kid to learn about slavery like this?

I guess the intent might've been to highlight "tight packing" conditions in slave transportation? That's the only thing I can think of that could possibly remotely justify Slave Tetris.
....But it's still fucking SLAVE TETRIS, holy shit.

Slave tetris was very real unfortunately.
Weird. I suppose it's possible that they just lost the plot when approaching the issue with good intentions.
We're post hatred steam and you can't believe it?

DAMN
Moving past Greenlight means a Google Playesque system where developers are free to upload a game after paying the registration fee. Valve will never go back to curating releases itself as that's what lead to Greenlight in the first place. Vendor curation isn't and can never be perfect -- even CDPR passes on indie games from time to time.
Seems like they put more effort into making their Aryan war kings game than they did into their slave trading game. Maybe we will be getting that concentration camp sim after all.

Well there is that board game "Train", where players try to efficiently pack train cars full of people. Then at the end of the game you find out you were really sending people to a concentration camps.
I can imagine a "game" about slavery that actually teaches the player something, but this sure isn't it.

I'm watching the Jim Sterling playthrough right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E7iWYXnf8s
And this is just too surreal for me to be offended by it. It almost feels like something the Frog Fractions team would put together to just mess with everybodies heads.
