Yeah, I was gonna say there's some real r/hailcorporate poo poo going on in here. If you enjoy the game and hate Nazis, great. But if you actually want to help people who have been victimized by hate groups or who are at risk of turning to political or religious extremism to solve their problems then Zenimax Media having a good quarter is not going to accomplish that.

Please, do something with your time and money to help those who actually need it if you have any to spare and care that much.

Why not buy one copy of the game as planned then find something to volunteer for which has an actual impact against America's nazis.

You'd think so, and yet nobody else is going "gently caress off Nazi Trumps" in their marketing for anything, anywhere, including literal WWII war games about fighting Nazis, sooooooo

Finally, LOL at talking about some game studio in Sweden like they're OCP from Robocop.

Oh gently caress off. I know racists and fuckheads like them are created by systemic racism and how those fuckheads have used that system as well as populism and the complacency of libs to get into office and they are loving the country. Appreciating a small left leaning sweadish studio and it’s big stupid publisher that has mad kick rear end games make a nazi killing game and then made a dumb ad campaign stating the obvious that triggered the gently caress at of the nazis is a nice smile to my face before I lose my health care.

What exactly makes you think purchasing this game makes me angry? You are welcome to spend every last dime you have to your name buying copies of this game and I really won't give a poo poo - in fact, I'd look forward to the additional sequels the overwhelming interest would spur, if anything.

From the way it sounds it's not like you're going to be alive long enough to enjoy the money anyway. May as well spend it now if it makes you that happy.

We can bask in our manufactured consumerist identity and still be politically engaged. It's not like the former is optional anyway.

"Thing is getting praise, I have to use my unique insight to remind them why good thing is bad" isn't the most compelling take.

If you don't want to help people then thats fine, I don't care. I really don't care even if you do want to help. Wanting to shower your money on a corporation because they made some salty internet trolls go on a rant just seems really stupid to me. But it's your money, spend it as you want.

Sounds like donating it to a political party that won't get you killed or at least on a private health plan my be better option though?

As a registered DSA socialist organizer how dare you insult the idea of people getting some catharsis in this modern American nightmare. Let them take a fuckin’ break from this shitshow for once.

You look at how much media and culture fuckin wags their fingers and shits themselves to a full diap at the idea of actually opposing or maybe even punching Nazis and now there’s something that says, “yeah actually they’re fuckin’ Nazis, to hell with them,” and people would like to think they’re not crazy when they see Nazi tiki marches on the news and lunatics shooting 500 people from a Vegas hotel window.

The people have earned a break from this poo poo. Wolfenstein is that break to a lot of people.

Dropping money on recreation is self-care, which is vitally important. When the recreation promotes violence against the right, all the better.

Do you do this in other gaming threads? If we crown you the King of Wokeness will you be satisfied and go police another thread?

Hello thread. Please don't swerve into tedious slapfights on how somebody's reasoning to buy a game is wrong. All people involved in this discussion want to one up somebody. I assure you that nobody cares. All that matters is that we'll get to kill tons of Nazis with double machine guns. Thank you.

What if I told you the game has log files where you read about sad starving Nazis who are terrified of BJ and just want to see their children again? :colbert:

The answer is you still shoot them in the face.
