They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.
It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.
There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”
No no, I do. I have a very imaginative 5 yr old. He saw me play Helldivers once and wouldn't stop saying "sweet liberty my leg!" The looks I go in public.
I clicked over to their site on the worldwide web and they have a game called Contact. Seems like it's for nerds, so it'd be right up Lemmy's collective alley.
Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.
Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.
You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.
Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.
EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.
Public companies don't have to be evil, despite popular belief. It's a choice. Meanwhile, private equity is at least as consistently evil. Public/private is not in itself the problem. Greedy, sociopathic assholes are the problem.
Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.
That is what happens when companies are run by people who actually care about what they do and are not in it just for the money. The exact opposite of this happens when companies are run by ghoulish billionaire shareholders.

The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?
Soulphite@reddthat.com · 101 pts · 175d
If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.

same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.
the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could

Not a corporation. They're not "incorporated" and are not publically traded (afaik).
They're a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they're not beholden to stockholders.
To me, companies like them aren't the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.

Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.
whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 175d
so they are actually giving back money they never charged anyone for? The money they are getting back is the money tarrif stole them no?
