Suspicious Codex establishment behavior

Should Codex Editors post a news article about Drova: Forsaken Kin?

  • Yes, it is an outrage that such a high quality game is ignored by these pseudo RPG aficionados!

  • No, I spit on Drova's Foreskin, because I can only play turn based games!

  • Crispy should be tarred and feathered for this atrocity!

  • Yes, it IS an outrage, AND Crispy should be tarred and feathered as well!

  • Bulgaria was never a world power!

  • Actually, I can't stand pixel art games, even RPGs, no matter how good they might be (kc)

Note to self: Don't buy any more games published by Deck 13. Games are not woke; games are not even political. If you think that games must push your ideology (no matter what it is), then you're making propaganda, not games.

Agreed. But remind me: What was the last good game published by Deck 13?

And the irony is that D13_Michael would probably lose his shit the moment a right-wing (or even libertarian) dev team made a political game. These games would be dangerous propaganda that would need to be shunned by all decent people.

If it helps to keep you away: We only publish dogshit games.


Also there are right winged games (e.g. The Gret Rebellion) and idgaf

In that case it'd be a total war which Germany won 9:0. Not a single tank lost.
Now waiting for my 90k.

Not White
Has white guilt (even though not white, but you have been larping so long you get confused)

These two are now verified. That makes me 20k richer. Seven more to go, mongrel.
Ahahaha I'm white. And not feeling guilty about it. Actually quite happy as it makes things so much easier.

If you have had it easy, it isn't because you are White. That is a certainty. You most likely have been given handouts and special considerations because you are a brown mongrel ogre and the good people of Germany took pity on you.

Just triggering some snowflakes.
huh? i paid money for your fucking games twenty years ago and didn't like them, that makes me a snowflake? seems you're a fresh hire and not in touch with your own catalog
Not you.

Also it's absolutely fine if you disliked the games. Not every game must be loved by everyone and it's also fine if you voice you don't like it.

So buyers of your games have to agree with you politically but you are not making propaganda, got it. Your zero self-awareness is really showing.

Shame about Drovar, though (thanks Lord_Potato for the reminder), I was actually interested in that one

is this guy drunk
He is a Redditor aka part of the mentally ill crowd...those who live in la-la land rather than reality.

And regarding my political stand, well I never made a secret about being a leftist scumbag.
Right. What definition of "left" is against their own race (white) again? Certainly none in any history.

Let me guess, you also cheer for cases like this: https://www.dw.com/en/hamburg-teenagers-walk-free-after-gang-rape-conviction/a-36142782

Additionally, I find some of the public statements you've made rather peculiar.
GZ8cBQsXEAIhk_Z
Reminder that according to the 2022 census, there are 969 "diverse" (aka mentally ill) people in Germany. That's 0,001171% of the population. Yet there are apparently "a lot of trans person" in game development teams. Wonder how high that percentage is in Germany...like straight 0%? Must be much higher in la-la/reddit land though. After all, mentally sound people tend to enage with real life rather than be online 24/7 to post on (a)social media.

No need to publish any games about how being white is bad, i'm assuming you attend and learn from every gangbang your girlfriends have had with shitskins?

In your chair cucky boy
See that's the point: there isn't a single game preaching that being white is bad. Point proven. (Although I admit it'd be a funny Situation if I ever got a serious pitch trying to do that as I usually try to stand by my word)

And regarding my political stand, well I never made a secret about being a leftist scumbag. And oh yeah, I am loud about it, as much as rightwinged scumbags are. Got an issue with that, block me or fuck off. Don't care.

But what I'm proud of: I let devs cook. And I don't take influence (also no political) influence on their products. Sure, how Roguey would say: I'd never publish a game by AfD chuds. Where he's wrong however: if these morons would be able to fill out the documents correctly they could als apply for state funding.

I know shitposting is fun but you are wasting your time trying to deal with subhumans. Few animals have a sense of humor.

I don't agree with your political views because you - as most germans - are uninformed and politically illiterate ... but that's your problem. I don't care.

However I would say that you have the right attitude regarding game development. The fact that you don't let your political views influence which game you publish is a sign of professionalism. I respect that and I hope you will continue to do so.

And the second thing I want to say is that in Drova you have a winner. 96% positive ratio from 2451 reviews is an absolute insane ratio. Please try to keep the existing team and approve a sequel as fast as possible.

What someone says and what someone does can be different, you know? It's especially funny after you calling most Germans politically illiterate because politicians are the kind of "people" that do that the most.

I don't see a reason not to buy or play someone's game because he has opposing opinions (as long as the game isn't an activism, i.e. Veilguard). If one keeps personal opinions separate from his art then do we judge the art by what it doesn't contain? I don't agree with many Dostoyevski's or Nitzche's opinions, but I definitely appreciate their work. If I only accepted creations of artists agreeing with me, then I'd have nothing to enjoy.

The reason not to buy Drova is that it's 2D Gothic. Again.
Hey why not make a new SETTLERS game next huh? That's the only fucking thing Germany ever produced.

But there were lots of good games...in the 90s and early 00s that is. The Big 3 (Fugger/Gilde, Anno and Siedler series), followed by smaller (in terms of sales) titles like the Gothic series, Sacred, Far Cry, Crysis series, possibly the X and Anstoß series? If anything, it's a reminder how far the German game industry has fallen.

That's the point. Plus, outside of Germany and Poland nobody knows those other series anyway.
The entire German games industry is a scam.
