Not a single penny, ever.

For Fanatical?

Telepath Tactics dev is a big libtard.

Yeah, I saw this bundle too but instead bought
Shields of Loyalty

I didn't need to see more than the store art to confirm. Two "strong" women with approved body types, one of which has a stupid haircut only a liberal would think looks good.

This has to be a joke right? I don't care about any lore reasons why she would do this, it just looks ********.

[Acrux]

The reason is stupid. She's trying to imitate the scales of the lizard people who held her and her sister captive for years.

Never played it, just remembered it was moderately popular on codex

[rusty_shackleford]

I just remember talking to him[the dev] and him being kinda ********

I thought Shields of Loyalty looked pretty good and the Deathtrap Dungeon FMV game looked intriguing,

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across as ******** on you or Fanatical. I thought Fanatical was maybe a rebranding of Sinister Design, I didn't click the link to see it was a build-a-bundle site. My bad.

Craig Stern was very open about his desire to explicitly inject woke politics into his games in general, but starting with Telepath Tactics in particular. Here's a listicle he wrote for Telepath Tactics as part of his marketing. Read point 4.

This was his response when I cited this as proof his games are overtly political (and that he's a woke ******) in the Codex Together in Battle thread:

I'm glad you like the look of the new engine! That article isn't a mission statement, though: as the first paragraph of the article states, it's just a list of angles the media can use to cover the game, written as part of a big marketing push. Given the media environment of the time, I thought some publications would take a stab at covering the game on political grounds. (Like literally, I wrote: "There are a number of critics out there doing really interesting work exploring the politics of video games....I would be delighted to see some of them critique Telepath Tactics.") This...did not work. Turns out, that crowd is mostly just interested in finding things to hate and dogpiling them.

Speaking of which: are we all done with the political purity tests? Can I go back to talking about TiB now?

Oh right, it's just marketing bros!

Oh that one is good. Used to play it on xbox but had no friends and as much as I liked doing ze funny german accent and saying *********** to people while reviving and healing them, friends tend to make it funnier.

About Hell Let Loose, Furin had a warning for this game on Steam, and I found this about it to add some context to what he says on Steam
(Curator)

"Had Steam sneakily remove our previous curations for pointing out how they underhandedly replaced JonTron's lines in Yooka-Laylee by means of a forced patch that did not mention it would do so."
Not Recommended

The thing that was removed

UK developer Playtonic has removed the controversial YouTuber JonTron from its upcoming title Yooka-Laylee.

JonTron - real name Jon Jafari - has found himself in the news in recent weeks following a series of far-right views about immigration, ethnicity and nationalism.

JonTron was doing voice acting for the game, for those who didn't know.

"We recently became aware of comments made by voice artist JonTron after development on Yooka-Laylee had been completed," the firm told GamesIndustry.biz in a statement.

"JonTron is a talented video presenter who we were initially, two years ago, happy to include as a voice contributor in our game. However, in light of his recent personal viewpoints we have made the decision to remove JonTron's inclusion in the game via a forthcoming content update. We would like to make absolutely clear that we do not endorse or support JonTron's personal viewpoints and that, as an external fan contributor, he does not represent Playtonic in any capacity. Playtonic is a studio that celebrates diversity in all forms and strives to make games that everyone can enjoy. As such, we deeply regret any implied association that could make players feel anything but 100% comfortable in our game worlds, or distract from the incredible goodwill and love shown by our fans and Kickstarter backers."

But wait. JonTron and Yooka-Laylee are not related to Hell Let Loose. The only thing that is, is the Publisher Team-17

Just leaving what info I see as I have learned to be paranoid when there is something like sneaky patches going on (thanks to Bungie).

Forgive my autism, but are you trolling?

Where did you get that quote from? I didn't write it.

Hell Let Loose is recommended on the list and Yooka-Laylee doesn't even have an entry.

More importantly, what does any of this have to do with Hell Let Loose?

Oh I see. No worries.

When multiple Steam curators you follow have reviews for a game, only one is shown on that game's Store page (I'm not sure how Steam determines which to show). The others will simply be represented off to the left with the rating represented in the bottom right of each curator's icon (you can see the blue thumbs up in the bottom right corner of my curator's icon). To see all of them you have to hit View all.

Thank you for explaining! I was incredibly confused when I saw your icon was smaller, but nothing happened when I clicked on it so I thought there had been some new "fancy icon" change or some sort, now it makes sense XD Sorry again for all the mess

Can you please tell me which Steam Curator is the yellow one with the snake on it? I follow plenty of woke detector steam curators but I don't recognise that one.

Although, he is correct about Team 17 being woke publisher. People should be very wary about the games they buy from them. They retroactively removed flags and phrases from their Worms franchise games because they were "politically incorrect". They also have a tendency to pressure their devs to include DEI **** in their games.

Then again, that's obvious given their CEO looks like this...

1998 beat me to it, but yes it is called "Anti-Defamation League". They do a lot of work, but they have a problem (in my opinion at least) that they say "Not Recommended" to every game that links to a certain umbrella, and though it is useful to see the rot in the center, it leads me to make mistakes like the one above where I believe they are talking about the game they are reviewing, but instead is a completely different thing. If anyone knows if there is some way to set a "default curator" or some such, do let me know. I'd rather see what Furin has found front and center, and only after look up more if I wish to by this other team's reviews.

And some not recommended games are rather not recommended to buy, but great to pirate. For example

I really doubt it's anything related to the ADL, but the owner seems to be neurotic.
I found the crying about Valve on their own platform to be amusing, they have no obligation to even allow you to be there yet they've been by far the most accommodating of any gaming platform.

He's got the right idea of clipping libtard posts to the games.

Given how much the owner loves to fellate jew ****, this curator group might just be related to the ADL.
I also see that Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 1-3 are all "Not Recommended" because of things that happend YEARS after their releases. Hell even Jade Empire and KOTOR have these even though Sam Maggs and Manveer Heir were not around during that time iirc.

Even Guild Wars 1 with all it's awesome Addons get that treatment. **** that happened years after is grounds enough to "not recommend" everything it seems.
