Norway's Government Funds this Slop
Why are taxpayer dollars going to the clowns who pump this ♥♥♥♥ out? If you're a citizen of Norway, I can't think of another fine example for tax resistance than this. Do NOT sit back apathetically and allow your earn earned dollars to go toward things that have no business existing.

We all should be embarrassed, we're here all laughing about no one playing this trash while the devs (and other woke businesses) laugh all the way to the bank with tax payer money.

Did they fund all of it or just part of it?

Excellent question. Based on what I can gather from Red Thread's website, their games have obtained financial support from the Creative Europe Program, which is an EU backed organization. If they're getting financial backing from them, there's no doubt that they're being subsidized on the taxpayers dime. How much of that is going toward this specific studio? I can't say for certain. However, I'm sure a majority of it leans towards public funding.

Some games these days are not made to turn a profit, they are fully funded as literal propaganda from government agencies using tax payer money.

This game isn't a joke because it's rubbish, it's a joke because tax payers money paid for it.

DEI has never been funded by consumers its funded by governments and political interest groups Its the new propaganda. This is what it means to say elites control (try to) the narrative

Grift of the century, somebody really got the bag and run away, just like blm management.
Let this be a example of stupid politics and corrupt mechanisms that invent stupid/not existing problems, divide even more people and steal money from hard working citizens.

Reminder that Gollum also got at least 2 Million Euros in funding from Germany.

All EU countries are compromised, it's just a matter of time before traitors inside governments take steps against their own people.

Lets be generous and say this game sold 500 copies across all platforms

That would be 500 x $25 = $12500

Minus the 30% that digital platforms would typically take = $8750

Minus distribution, advertising and 8 years of development costs = probably millions

I wonder if the Norwegian government saw this as a tax investment in the hopes to be paid back and take a cut of the profits, If that's the case I don't think they'll be too happy

Anyway, I don't think we'll be hearing again from this developer anytime soon
