They should make a rhythm game based on the story of that nazi forced to play the piano.

The “keep politics out of video games” crowd is going to despise this, right?

Be a loser, the game

We need to come up with a more concise name for anti-communist. I'm thinking something 4 letters or less.

The consequences of the Battle of Warsaw have been a disaster for the human race.

If Steam was a serious store it would not allow this type of shit, but oh well. We really gotta start pumping out communist games to counter these tho.

Valve's higher ups are libertarians, they're 100% joyce-messier-pilled on using politics as a consumer identity to make money.

This looks like a pretty fun concept

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 20 points 4 weeks ago

Yea brainworms aside, not the worst idea for a game

TIL “American propagandists” qualifies as “a unique perspective”.

It being "for anticommunists" is just your framing of it, or is there anything to that?

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 53 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

As per the steam page:

In this era, Poland found itself in a desperate fight, standing against the ever-expanding Soviet Russia — a force determined to spread communism across the entire world.

Definitely anti-communist in its framing.

"After being granted the right to unilateral secession and self-determination by the evil Bolsheviks, the newly independent Poland decided to embark in its lofty goal of expanding its borders to include the totally Polish people of contemporary Belarus and Ukraine, due to rightful nationalist borders of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth 2 centuries prior. Not satisfied with this liberation, Poland decided that part of the RSFSR was also Polish, and rightfully took it. The evil Bolsheviks then responded by invading Poland because Russian people are ontologically evil. After the Bolsheviks created false independent nations in modern Ukraine and Belarus by expelling the glorious Polish troops and administration that had previously liberated them, Poland had a final epic cavalry charge against the Bolsheviks"

-History books in Poland probably

@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml can you confirm?

Something like:

5 pages about WW1 and getting independence and sudden jump to 30 pages of heroic resistance against godless devil boshevik asiatic looting r*pehorde, with zero mention how did that happen. Some metions about the heroic child soldiers in Lviv, with very muddy context. Bonus for conflicting conclusion about Warsaw battle victory: a) Virgin Mary did it b) Polska stronk Piłsudski overrated c) Piłsudski stronk Polska overrated d) Polska weak, but enough against asiatic subhuman communist.

I mean, i even once see an academic textbook for history students about explicitly history of Poland 1795 - 1945 where literally 75% of it was "USSR bad".

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Given that the game frames the Polish invasion of Ukraine and Belarus as somehow a good thing and Poland as not the aggressor, that's definitely the target audience.

[–] phil_dissonance@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

Ok I must admit I don't know enough about this war.

It is also a Polish game studio, so I would not be surprised by some bias in that regard

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 32 points 4 weeks ago

experience the war against Soviet Russia

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 17 points 4 weeks ago

Guess who usually ended up being the ones fighting the Soviets, dumbass
