| 92 | is there a sub where people post links for games that are\r |
| 93 | temporarily free? what i used to do was subscribe to a bunch\r |
| 94 | of shitty youtube channels who made videos about those but it\r |
| 95 | never really works\r |
| 96 | \r |
| 97 | ** LionelSlothrop\r |
| 98 | Yeah its called freegamefindings or something like that\r |
| 99 | and gamedeals is another\r |

| 107 | Wasn't that also free about a month ago? Or was that on GOG?\r |
| 108 | \r |
| 109 | ** NoXPhasma\r |
| 110 | Yes, it was free on Humble Bundle. This is the chance to grab\r |
| 111 | it for those who missed it.\r |

| 124 | I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this\r |
| 125 | game.\r |
| 126 | \r |
| 127 | ** ase1590\r |
| 128 | I want to know what does the FOSS community think about this\r |
| 129 | game.\r |
| 130 | What about it? It's a game that has a message that advocates\r |
| 131 | against government surveillance.\r |
| 132 | \r |
| 133 | ** Espinosidro\r |
| 134 | Interesting interpretation, this is pretty much what I\r |
| 135 | wanted to know.\r |
| 136 | My question to you is, is it really advocating against\r |
| 137 | surveillance? maybe it's trying to show us the security\r |
| 138 | benefits of having no privacy.\r |
| 139 | \r |
| 140 | ** ase1590\r |
| 141 | I've finished the game completely. You speak as if you\r |
| 142 | have not.\r |
| 143 | The whole message at the end was built to encourage\r |
| 144 | you, the player, to seriously consider the downsides\r |
| 145 | surveillance and the irresponsibility of those using\r |
| 146 | the system can have on civilization. Though of course,\r |
| 147 | you can totally ignore all of that rationale and simply\r |
| 148 | keep blindly following orders from Catherine.\r |
| 149 | \r |
| 150 | ** Espinosidro\r |
| 151 | I have finished the game only once, haven't seen all\r |
| 152 | the endings yet. But as far as I can tell the game\r |
| 153 | isn't trying to simply tell the player that\r |
| 154 | surveillance is bad or anything, it just makes the\r |
| 155 | player think about it.\r |
| 156 | At the end of the day we can only guess what the\r |
| 157 | devs were thinking when making the game.\r |
| 158 | \r |
| 159 | ** ase1590\r |
| 160 | But as far as I can tell the game isn't trying to\r |
| 161 | simply tell the player that surveillance is bad\r |
| 162 | or anything, it just makes the player think about\r |
| 163 | it.\r |
| 164 | Right. you're not being forced to pick a decision.\r |
| 165 | But you'd have a hard time telling me this game\r |
| 166 | was neutral or in favor of surveillance based on\r |
| 167 | several plot items in it. Especially with a name\r |
| 168 | like Orwell of all things.\r |
| 169 | You simply just don't name your game Orwell and\r |
| 170 | not make it lean anti-surveillance.\r |

| 178 | I was eventually going to buy this game, I'll wait till it's on\r |
| 179 | sale :)\r |
| 180 | \r |
| 181 | ** drislands\r |
| 182 | Oh fuck me I just bought this two days ago. Oh well, it was\r |
| 183 | definitely worth the money. Excellent game, if a little short!\r |
| 184 | \r |

| 186 | Reminds me of Papers, Please, in the sense that it's an admin\r |
| 187 | simulator. Looks interesting!\r |
