I talk about how to edit your game's story, both how to look for problems and how to suggest solutions.

Please enjoy Salty Tim and his take on modern capitalism.
"Critique of capitalism was never the point of Fallout." How can you tell? Because "the game went out of its way to mention that other countries like China were also behaving terribly." Which is very true, of course. In the original isometric Fallouts that Cain worked as a lead on, the US was a horrifying dystopia: A chauvinist, capitalist hellscape that imposed its will on the world and shot anyone who disagreed, but it wasn't unique. Fallout's China—which never dropped the 'smash the old world and forge the new world' ideology of the Mao Zedong Thought era—was also plenty violent. In fact, in Cain's original vision it was China who dropped the bomb first.
I was thinking the same thing. Like "What?!" Never once since playing it from its release did I ever think this. I thought it was pretty spot on with how the end of the world survivors would behave and interact. Brutal with might=right and a barter system attached in the more organized "civilized" areas.Who the fuck said the original Fallout was a critique on Capitalism other than Kotaku and IGN retards?
"Media literacy" crew (people who believe every work of fiction was written with the intent to support their left-wing political views)Who the fuck said the original Fallout was a critique on Capitalism other than Kotaku and IGN retards?

That article got linked on Reddit a few times and they had to immediately shut it down because people were losing their shit.Who the fuck said the original Fallout was a critique on Capitalism other than Kotaku and IGN retards?
The TV series showrunners, I guess. That's what happens when the original creators of an IP are not even consulted when a new adaptation is made.Who the fuck said the original Fallout was a critique on Capitalism other than Kotaku and IGN retards?
I give an update about one of my toys, detailing what I have done and what I plan to do, so you can see a toy evolve into a game.
I am surprised there was less of an "outrage" here over the "cancellation" of Tim Cain because of his refusal to repent capitalism.
He included that as part of his initial comment, that he doesn't mind if people personally interpret Fallout as anti-capitalist. The man who wants to be liked by everyone.Might wait to see if he apologizes and says all other interpretations are just as valid as his own.
