Counterpoint: it’s a fun game with a memorable tagline and people are just having fun repeating this tagline to each other instead of thinking of the setting’s depressing implications.
To be clear, I do agree with all of this. Deep Rock Galactic is a very shitty company. It’s just that the people who play the game might already realize that.
It’s obviously all satire, the game is not some capitalist propaganda. In fact quite the opposite, with how ridiculously obvious the terribleness of the mining company is, it is purposefully dialed up to 11.
DRG is obviously a shitty company, but some voiclines say that they really enjoy the work and all they would donis mine for minerals anyway, or start their own mining company. Is that better? A expedition on hoxxes lead by some raging alcoholics? Dwarfs are expert miners and great at killing bugs, but actually leading expedition? Just look at the overclocks they are unknowingly install.
Rock and stone to the bone!
For Karl!
Did I hear a rock and stone!?
If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home!
I see your point, but, counter argument: ROCK AND STONE FOREVER!
And yet every dwarven miner protests against the corp by drinking beers and dancing to the jukebox for great lengths of time.
We’re rich!
Non unionized employees be like
Yeah but you get to shoot things sooooooooo
Just bought this game because of this post
