Dustbin funded with Taxpayers Money

[ZaLeqaH]

A Game, that have more pronouns then Players is funded with Taxpayer Money. How tf is that even possible? We, the majority dont want this. Money flushed down the Toilet, nice Job!

Yes, and it's not the first nor the last one.

This trash was also funded by the EU (as in, by money stolen via taxation). In effect, European citizens pay for propaganda about their own replacement and most don't even know it.
Notice how both of these are about "poor refugees abloo bloo bloo q_q".

Well, taxpayers in the EU, yes. I would not be OK with my taxpaying money going towards the funding of video games (or any entertainment medium) especially if those video games blatantly oppose who I am as a person.

I'd better be getting a free copy of the game if I was already paying for it with my taxes, except we all know that didn't happen so this might as well be considered theft.

At least when the city uses taxpayer money to build or repair infrastructure, we can all benefit from it.

They stole your tax dollars and claim you are the oppressors and fascists. It’s the strategy to accuse you of what they are doing.

[Old Claim Jumper]

First the EU fleeces the member countiries out of "protection money," then they go and fund low effort propaganda written by Twitter weirdos. Come on EU, you can do better than this.

This is a misuse of my tax money.

**** these talentless hacks.

This is just pure madness and crime. How the f*ck is it even possible to use tax money to this

Where was the money taken from? We could make a citizens petition against funding more projects like this.

To be fair, Creative Europe provides grants of up to €200k to developers all the time, for all kinds of games, out of a budget of €2.5-billion. Another project they funded to the tune of €150k was The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, which anyone would be hard-pressed to describe as "woke". I don't see any nefarious social engineering agenda behind this funding.

Pressuring Creative Europe to stop funding games with political themes would set a bad precedent. It would strangle creativity.

This really is a non-issue. The bants here was fun until the jannies woke up. Now it's just a forum for a niche game that a handful of people are enjoying. No big deal.

Nothing screams PUNK like taking govt money that was stolen from the citizens and making the government the propaganda they asked so nicely for.
Remember: devs of this and their followers think they're the "resistance".

Money came from more than EU tax dollars. US tax dollars did too apparently and the order was for propaganda in that instance.
