These folks have been getting off on manipulating and controlling people for decades if not longer. High time to recognize and acknowledge the bullshit, all the pain and suffering they have caused in pursuit of freedom which it turns out actually means record profits

Yeah, I get that, none of those games or movies really glorify that life because what’s to glorify really, but it’s just the constant exposure to the wanton violence of the game and people’s worst instincts kicking in. I don’t really have anything against the game or whatever, I will just be interested to see if it’s ever studied about how those games affect peoples attitude towards violence and might erode their ethics in some ways such as turning a blind eye to violence going on around them. Just thoughts anyways. I feel the same way about the Battlefield/Modern Warfare games and horror movies that are basically just torture porn with no redeeming social messages or anything. Anyways, I’m probably being way too serious for a game people use to blow off steam but it’s worth a discussion probably, for someone, sometime :P
Alright crime simulator anyways, I dunno, I know it’s just a game and all but the glorification of all of that business just seems like not a super great thing right now considering we have a crime syndicate in charge of our country. It feels like a relic to me but maybe I’m just an optimist.
Yeah, I dunno. To be perfectly honest I don’t really think we need an updated version of this gangster simulator, it’s outdated, but that’s just my lame ass take :P

5·1 month agoI wish these places made it easier for us to fully delete all our accounts and data on their sites instead of having things like 30 day wait periods for account deletion which is buried under 9 layers of menu on the security dashboard or whatever, let me get my data off your service before it gets hacked. The problem is that when these tools become as easy as writing a prompt it’s no longer just “hackers” it’s just ordinary everyday criminals who can pull this stuff off now, all of the skill required has been removed once again with no guard rails, let’s see what happens this time.
fair enough I suppose, it is a pretty lose lose situation that way, anyways I guess it lets you know what you are getting
so long for this game to come out and the cover looks the same as one they did 20 years ago, way to go guys, amazing work truly
