Is this all a weird ad for his game, to get eyes on it, or is he just like this?

the comments on the article on pcgamer are fascinating to me. i’ve enjoyed polygon for years now, and all this time it was a hipster art installation for communists? hell yeah!

it’s a shame because the basic gameplay is pretty fun, but i can’t recommend it to people without worrying about triggering someone’s gambling addiction. for whatever reason, i’m immune to spending money on microtransactions. i even think that it wouldn’t be bad to put an amount of money in every month like a subscription if i’m enjoying a game enough. i just don’t.

had an ‘oh shit what did they do’ moment about the game since i own it on steam, but then i realized the game company is participating in the anti-xbox boycott and is fine

they know microsoft is huge and difficult to escape using for some people, so the boycott is targeting specifically microsoft videogames and related services, is my understanding of it

I’ve seen a couple people play this. Is it one of those games that got way bigger way faster than the devs expected?

Looking forward to it further down the road in development. I do wonder why these dollhouse sims are so rare, since they’re so popular.
