Ah yes, the undisclosed context of... shitheads being deplatformed for espousing shit ideologies. Take your "crime in quotes even though they didn't say that" and shove off.
True, but after the incident happened it seemed as though some people did everything in their power to make it look like a mentality to him (i.e. combing through his past posts to see if he himself said anything yikes to prove to everyone how shitty he is). The "shove it up your ass" comment is enough to point to, so pointing to the (now deleted, might I add) statutory rape comment feels more like having a hate boner for the guy and that your goal is to moreso make you hate him as much as you rather than just the plain 'don't buy the game from this guy, he's a reactionary'.
He got his shit pushed in by militant fascism wearing the flayed skin of communism, and now he blames the left for everything wrong with his world like he's possessed by the ghost of Ayn Rand.
But sure, call it based like you were born yesterday.
There are currently 1,189 Steam games discounted at 70% or higher with a minimum of 5000 reviews, including The Witcher 3, Hearts of Iron IV, Cyberpunk 2077, and Deep Rock Galactic:

Can we not do Reddit-style one-upping replies? You've added nothing to the thread except a very low-effort quip that leads to The Price Is Right "No, no, you need a trillion!" "No, no, you need a quadrillion!" etc. that just... sap every reader's seconds of their lives away.
I'm sure you say plenty of clever and helpful things elsewhere, but I'm so over Reddit and I don't want Lemmy to be like it.
I'm not sure how your original comment isnt in the same vein of Reddit style replies. You just made a quip based on a meme instead of a quip based on another comment.
The idea that buying products is a moral choice to "support" something is your brain on capitalism. They've actually convinced people that shopping is responsible citizenship and moral agency. Not even morality can exist outside of the market.

Except for Factorio, if you see a 1% discount, jump on it

Don't support reactionaries. Go play Satisfactory instead!

Kovarex, the maker of Factorio, is a reactionary anti-leftist. He exposed himself on reddit and has since edited or deleted his comments. Here's a thread about it with links to the original incident. https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/o34v6h/factorio_founder_rages_about_cancel_culture_after/
KombatWombat@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 39d
Kinda burying the lede to criticize his political position when he apparently supports statutory rape.
LongLive@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 39d
Say my friend made such a statement in the past and somehow.managed to grow as a person.
What should they do to communicate this?
I assume deleting the original statement is perceived as dishonesty, yes?
marcos@lemmy.world · -10 pts · 39d
Good to know that his "crime" was opposing censorship in some undisclosed context.
People talk about it like if he actually harms people.

If your source for something is ever that sub Reddit, you should probably take a moment to re-evaluate things

The link on the post goes directly to comments postyed by kovarex himself. Get outta here with that shit lmao
gmtom@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 39d
Except it doesn't because they were deleted.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · -16 pts · 39d
kovarex's response was thus: "Take the cancel culture mentaility and shove it up your ass."
Sounds kinda based. Vaguely remember that, FFF about software development and then people start complaining about politics.
grue@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 39d
Not wanting to support shitty people is fucking common sense, not a "mentality."

Talking about software development is shitty people?
SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 39d
There are shitty people in software development. I can't believe someone has to tell you this.

When did kovarex do any of that? I just see a couple of out of context now deleted posts and conclusions drawn from them. Hardly militant fascist.
SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone · -11 pts · 39d
Yeah thanks for letting us know you didn't actually read it. Blocked.

It's a game that not nearly as fun as any of the other factory games.
Factorio, shapez, foundry, astro colony > satisfactory
Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 39d
On the flip side, Satisfactory has been the only logistics game I've enjoyed. It just clicked for me better than the others.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 39d
Dyson Sphere Program?
scottmeme@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 39d
Never tried it, will have to take a look
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 39d
It's much closer to 3D Factorio than Satisfactory
SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 39d
Love that game! Highly recommended!
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 39d
It's absolutely gorgeous. I don't even care that it can only run at half speed on my laptop. The screenshots I get are second to none.

Never said it wasn't a good game. I'm saying that the ones I listed are better then satisfactory
BigDiction@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 39d
There are few popular topics as reactionary as online gamer drama 🙄

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 39d
But I already bought it. Unless.. could I buy another Factorio?
Carrot@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 38d
I gave up on getting it at a discount lol. I waited 5 years
