The Euro trucking devs are blaming it all on a bad translation, but the problem is deeper than that.

The context is that they added vaccine trucking to the game as a special mission or something of that nature.

So they decide they have to appease antivaxxers by making a statement about how the addition of this content is not an endorsement of vaccines. There verbiage may have become stronger in translation than in its original language, but it was a boneheaded statement that deserves to be pilloried either way.

On my fifth or so time reading it I realize that they probably are going for a "this event is a celebration of truckers, in our game about trucking, who are gonna be busy these days, not a statement about vaccines" thing? Not sure why that would need to be said, since, shockingly, the game Euro Truck Simulator 2 is all about trucking but that's my guess

Personally waiting for American gently caress Simulator. Same gameplay, but more familiar settings. Plus you get to play around with all the American big rigs you never get to ride vs those weird looking euro ones.

Easy mistake, American gently caress Simulator is actually about running an insurance company in the US.

Yeah, the event is cool, and the devs have a decent track record when it comes to responding the their fans (also good). Looks like they tried to respond that they were all about trucks and truckfuckling in response to some angry antivaxxers, when they should have ignored them entirely. Instead, a half-assed PR statement that may or may not have been run through google translate which managed to piss everyone off since it's impossible to "both sides" a global pandemic lol

E: OK, one weird thing is that the ETS2 devs had a similiar event last year where they also donated about 15k euros to czech charities buying masks and equipment. No such donations announced for this event so far.

That looks weirdly specific. There are plenty of websites like teespring that will let you type anything into the screen and spit out a demo image like the one above. Then you can buy as many as a single garment of clothing with that text/graphics. I highly doubt it's a mass produced item, offered for sale.

I literally got an add for this exact one on Facebook today, it had hundreds of comments of people taking the piss at least.

It's a game changer. Your sauces will never break. The only thing is that it's saltier than salt so you have to be careful with it and just use tiny amounts. Like half a pinch is plenty.
