I agree, is fun and addictive. It was a political buy for me but the game is a lot of fun. Great way for me to blow some steam between escalations.

Working on it - had a ton of requests for features right after The Quartering did a video on it and the number of players exploded. We're definitely adding a bunch of funny achievements

Good, will buy it at some point. Good that you got coverage. Maybe worth sending a superchat on a Nerdrotic or Ethan van Sciver stream, would help in getting the word out even more.

You guys need to add injured civilians that the hero can give medical aid to for points or something. I think it would add some more strategy to the game if there were objectives besides just, "Avoid & mow down zombies"

I bought it to support him but I got bored quickly tbh, although that type of game has never been my thing.

Having Brian Stelter as a literal "little piggy" would be the best Dave Smith shout-out and a hilarious boss.

This literally doesn't matter though.

Who cares about how many hours you waste in an online single player game?

You're not "winning the cultural war."

You're running away from it.

There is no culture war. There are people with power making decisions and manipulating others and there are those being manipulated. It doesn't matter how many games you play or put on Steam, it doesn't matter if you buy a next gen console or not. What matters is your immediate community and relationships to those closest to you. Games as a form of relaxation aren't a bad thing, games as a life style and crusade is super unhealthy. You would do more for the "culture war" holding a bake sale and meeting your neighbors than you ever will playing games. You don't have the media reach or power to manipulate people on the scale you would need to fight an actual culture war. You have the power to form a small circle jerk and convince yourself you're doing something when you're not. All the people KiA originally spoke about are still active, still have more influence and in some cases killing people. I don't think any of them, let alone any real people with influence give a flying fuck if you make a steam game because you're no threat to anything but your own wrists if this is how you fight what you consider a war.

I don't care at all about the karma.

I simply find it rather curious that I'm downvoted and you're upvoted in the same comment chain for saying basically the same thing.

Who pissed in your cornflakes?

You can be serious about something without being all mopey and somber. Stop being absolutist and thinking that just because it isn't everything you ever wanted the outcome isn't promising.

There will be no such thing as a "victory". Instead we are in a tug of war and making a continuous series of small moves. If the move is in the right direction we celebrate, if it is in the wrong direction we buckle down, figure out what went wrong, and adjust our tactics.

An entertainment product that is a big fuck you to the neomarxists is a good thing.

I'm being realistic, not mopey.

People playing a game on steam is not an accomplishment.

It's nice that it got released and its doing well, but that's all.

This thread is characterizing good sales as some kind of cultural turning point, which it is most certainly not. This game's release and sales are not even part of that "tug and pull." It is a completely irrelevant object.

Wasting people's time playing video games that preach to the choir isn't winning even in your own definition. You're like those Ukraine Redditors who got platinum trophies in Elden ring and posted about it for Karma while their country was being invaded. You're wasting time on irrelevant things for 'fun' while the real world breathes down your neck.

Ok doomer, I know you are talking out of your ass. If you really believed "every minute is precious" you wouldnt ever be posting here and instead doing terrain studies of your local area.

Ok. So why are you here preaching to the choir instead of going out and doing something? You're wasting time on irrelevant things while the real world goes to hell.

“You’re not “Winning the culture war.””

If you are not winning you are losing.

Maybe you should not be questioning peoples reading comprehension. Especially if you can’t handle someone disagreeing with you on the internet.

No, dumbass.

I'm saying that people who think this matters aren't even participating; they're bystanders.

This is completely irrelevant in every conceivable way.

Guy released a game on steam, got accepted to be sold on steam and is seeing small success. No need to be a massive prick about it. If you think it’s a waste of time don’t participate. Him making and selling a game is more relevant than you coming into the thread and pissing and moaning about people downvoting you and disagreeing with you. People not on the right will actually see the product of his actions. Only a portion of .win will see yours

Maybe it's just me but a plants vs zombies clone could do way better on the platform. Like if they choose to create a sequel, having someone defend different areas from these same enemies could be a better option.

It's funny, but this wont win anyone over, and there are more important political problems we could make games about instead of comedicizing kyle.

This game will get you exactly 0 new people voting against demoshits. so its a stupid game for that reason, alone- this is the inward navelgazing of political games.

(A george floyd game wouldnt get any NEW dem voters, EITHER
