"Keep politics out of games"

You again. FFS...

So many good options...

Oh look, a bait thread for drama.

We never have those...

I dont get it.
Are you using the fact that there are politics in games, to talk about real life politics here on this forum ?

If so - how arrogant can you be ? It doesnt even correlate.
Game universe having some kind of political turmoil or political based protoganist or whatever, doesnt mean you should spam this forum with your biased (usually) views of real life politics.

EDIT : aside from what you meant by this ridiculous post. That article is dumb. Its just plain stupid. You can create art (or games in this case) how ever the hell you want to. If its not suppoused to be about politics theres no logic putting in anything political. And if the game universe is suppoused to be about politics - also. Dont touch it. Someone created it how hw wants it. This reminds me of that "we need to include women everywhere disregarding their skills or interests. But they have to be in anything" .

Text is about games
Poll is about steamgifts
...

So... I was going to make a comment about the thing this thread is supposed to be about but apparently the discussion here is about something else so... I gonna go now.

Thread title "Keep politics out of games"
Poll question "Keep politics out of SteamGifts"
Wtf?
I want politics out of SteamGifts because I go to these forums to relax and enjoy my hobbies without getting into flame wars with random trolls on the internet (who often are the ones demonstrating these 'genocidal maniacal racism tendencies' you describe).

Where is the poll option for "OP is a baiting shithead"?

no

The poll basically is ironic in itself.

Politics in pixel-art stealth platformers often go underappreciated, aye.

Booom! Thanks ESGST for keeping stupid out of my feed.

You can get a facebook account and share every article you come across there...
Might as well spam in a place designed for your spam.

I see quite a few people posting angry comments in threads they consider to be worthless trolls, aka shitpots. Instead of commenting there and bumping these threads to the top of the forum, how about staying out and letting them sink to oblivion?

Edit: Np, this is my first and last bump in this thread ;)

I'd rather keep games out of politics and disband the ESRB.

Politic is just another type of games

Yes, i'm sure you can make an insightful commentary on how Kirby embraces the idea of Jesus not owning clothes, and how everyone is a sinner so you only need faith to go to heaven.

It's mostly because people play games for fun. It's similar to any other pastime. Call it what you will, it's 'boring' in the best sense of the word. :) That is to say, politics is interesting in the sense of the Chinese curse.

The article is really good. And the Errant Signal youtube video is really really poignant. In fact that channel is great.
There are so many interesting debates in gaming, and topics to discuss. No need to be harsh.

Some people doesn't like political discussions, and they may not engage in them. But you have to know that politics rules our lives, and if you're not being part of the discussions, someone else will decide for you. In all aspects of life, not only gaming.

Flawless logic

We could let developers make the game they want.

This poll has no option that says: I don't know, I'm not one of those people.
In addition, your poll asks about politics on steamgifts, while your topic talks about politics in games. Confusing.

Now if you excuse me I have important non-political business to do like wasting a few more hours of my life on the internet.
