You mean they had similar examples of "player slavery" or included slavery as a theme? Rust is 2013 and Ark 2015, so they fall in the same release category as ED.
I'm surprised Polygon hasn't just spontaneously combusted before now in a world that includes Rust.
The onionhead decal and paint that went with it is still my all time fav ship skin.
Great for hauling slaves*
*NPC slaves Frontier, easy
Me neither, I'm simply suggesting that for such a small and relatively detail might simply be cut in a situation where having slavery in-game would even risk controversy - if the game was made now, like I said. I mean, I doubt many would significantly miss depiction of slavery either...
And before anyone misreads me, I'm not suggesting it should be cut.
Rust has had a sort of revival in attention on Twitch so Mr Hall is no doubt on the hunt for incorrectly named Rust Discord servers.
Rust did have a lot of player abduction stuff going on and both games are by design set up in way to encourage/perform slavery.
This. This in spades. Those passionate fans of the game who are so outraged are, I`m afraid guilty of being a little naive here.
Exactly and Frontier while you're at it whats up with bots?
Doesn't seem at all likely that Frontier would give this any more attention given they really want it all to just..go away...
If you can get Polygon to write it up in a really bad light - I guarantee it will get some attention. Until then......
Fair enough. I never played them (only vaguely remember reading that both games are quite a cesspit, especially Rust, amirite?
).Both are games with higher PEGI rating, which probably has something to do with this debacle as well.
Polygon only writes about stuff that involves peoples feelings getting hurt or if they can throw in a few paragraphs on toxic masculinity, cultural appropriation or space nazis.
Clarifications usually come later because they're not fans of sourcing.
Well, watched the Pilot interview with the ringleader of this "slaver" group. Wow, that's a d0uche.
They're trying to find gullible people to do work for them, so they can do "fun" things in game, leaving mining to those poor sods tempted by easy credits or promise of being part of a "fun" squadron.
Sure it's easy to escape this kind of situation when you know the game a little bit (or are not naive), but their aim was to recruit enough people, so there would always be some fool that will lack imagination to break away, or would be interested in being part of something like their group to not play alone . Because that's what they promised - mine for us a little bit and we'll promote you to our "fun" division when you'll learn the game by mining, while mining is The activity they despise most in the game.
This is exploitation of other people's weaknesses in pure form. Someone should watch this 25 yo A-wipe closely, because he really enjoys using people.

Basically real life then
I rather read polygon articles than watch pilots interviews, both are painful but the latter are usually shorter
I still think Self Destruct is a valid move. If you're a newbie, you don't exactly have much to lose.
I would also love to see a feature where self destructing inside a carrier would so some serious damage to the carrier as well that would have to be repaired back at a station at considerable cost, that might deter people from taking new players prisoner.

Kind of describes my job, FDev please do somethingBasically real life then
True... blowing them up with massively overpowered ships is much more fun, isn't it...
I'm a carebear. Mostly
And i'm quite outraged if FD really served bans for the "emergent" gameplay.
