Get a job or get revenge!

You lost everything and ended up on the streets. What will you do? Adapt and survive? Take revenge on those responsible? Become an urban legend? Get a job and start over? Countless possibilities await!

Apart from your day-to-day survival you can enjoy many unique activities:
  • Discover your inner bum powers
  • Tame the infamous city pigeons
  • Solve the mystery of sewer rat people
  • Learn the secrets of Alcohol Alchemy
  • ...and much more!

Dirty alleys, city streets, pawn shops, central park, subway and rat infested sewers. You can go wherever you want and whenever you like. Enjoy the open, crazy, urban sandbox. There are many secrets to uncover and achievements to unlock. Each location houses interesting characters with personal story lines and quests. There's no place for boredom in bum's life!

Trent Reznor should apply the same logic to Quake, which although an awesome game isn't really that mechanically different from Doom (much to Romero's chagrin).

Lack of innovation isn't a recent trend - what's recent is patent incompetence, since newer game 'designers' are more often than not clueless idiots who went to expensive schools to learn nothing, and therefore create inept and incompetent pieces of shit, as opposed to the engineers and self-taught savants of 30 years ago.

Plus, although we have plenty of examples of publishers being evil overlords that run creative and brilliant studios to the ground (EA being the biggest example), the notion of limits is important. What we have seen with the more or less recent wave of kickstarted failures isn't a situation where brilliant developers have finally unshackled themselves from the repressive irons of authoritarian publishers, but rather that a lot of the time, developers are incompetent at managing scarce resources, leading to deeply flawed games as a result of troubled projects stemming from mismanaged funds/personnel.

I think it's healthy to understand and exercise moderation. People can't be everything at once, and believing in this idea that the people with the money are inherently evil and exploitative does more harm than good in the long run. Limitations breed creativity.
