TIL people still take those clowns seriously.
hey videogames are fun. been playing some cyberpunk as of late, good jolly.
but uhhh... I don't think there's such a thing as a communist gamer. also man, if they think the industry is bad now, wait until they find out about how monetised China's industry is.
Well, there's "information wanted to be free" software pirates who might consider themselves Communists.
But Tankies are a whole different ball of dung.

I dunno this feels really normal. People of all walks play video games. On the other end of the spectrum you can be sure there are MAGAts complaining about ‘woke’ games.
Oh nothing wrong with playing games, no. But I do love it when the communists turn into consumerists. These are the people who are going to revolutionise and overthrow capitalism? The ones sucking at its teats?
I wonder if there's any money to be made by making a SaaS game called "Smash the Bourgeoise". Only 360 Cuban Pesos per month!
