In light of recent global events, I decided to ask for the topic to be closed.
As explained in my last message there was an error when I went to update the main message, I was just going to correct spelling and grammar, but due to a keyboard bug I ended up deleting everything and was unable to change it.

Unfortunately with these recent events people started using the topic for this, and in my country and some others we are having legal problems regarding this matter.

Sad, but the truth is that free arguments started to be a problem, not only for me but for those who lost these rights.

Hi,

To anyone who is concerned, I want to be very clear that no grannies or grandpas were hurt in the production of this game!

The idea behind the game was to show a dark, hypercommercialized future, as you might have seen on some of the stores and commercials in-game. Just Die Already is a world where everyone young is getting distracted with consumerism and no one is taking care of the elderly. The blood and limb-loss is a way to be even more clear and exaggerated in showing how harsh this dark future is towards the elderly. Your role is to play the old people, and help them navigate in a world where everyone wants them to Just Die Already.

However, keep in mind that the world is a sandbox. If you want to play your game without your old person getting hurt at all, you can do so. In fact, there even is an item called Extreme Milk which makes you immune to losing your limbs (drink your milk everyone!)

basically this game has Russian developers allegedly funded by the Kremlin and for some reason picked up by western publishers.

There's a lot of anti-western propaganda littered throughout this game and OP is just pointing this out.

Is there? I haven't noticed any, any links to proof of this stuff?

it is kinda odd just seeing old people in the game, i didnt know why, but even homeless people you see on the street are old people, the only young person you see is behind a register, or working security, kinda odd, but it would be nicer to see some younger NPC's to beat the crap out of as a elder

Developed by Swedes, published by Brits, OP is talking about depiction of ageism and elderly abuse... Way to miss every mark.
make the old guy black.

It's just a video game. It will be okay. No oldies were harmed in the making of this video game. Probably.

The whole point of video games is to simulate in a fantasy world things that are impossible or forbidden in real life.

It's too bad people are still allowed to be insufferable scolds and post sloppy threads on Internet forums. I would love to play a game where I can waste my life wagging my finger at people, but instead of becoming a bitter and isolated social outcast when I'm done I just log out and go back to my normal life.
what a wanker. :steammocking: :steamfacepalm:

It is in very bad taste for sure, and I doubt we would see a "Just Overdose already" game where all the avatars are black crack addicts but hey, its just a game so maybe ignore it and play something else OP?

Not knocking your heart, thats firmly in the right place, but in this day and age I think this is the wrong hill to die on.

The dev appears to be from a very dysfunctional family.
This is a high-tech version of seeking attention.
Ironic username, I like it. But try not to melt, snowflake -- it's just a fun video game

I watched the live yesterday, the question isn't a problem complain or protests agaist old age problems, to use "elders" as a source of scorn at a time when we are experiencing a pandemic where these people, already with their various problems, are more severely affected yet abandoned by the lack of treatment or isolation, were already poorly cared for before now punished by something who have battled their entire lives.
Question that should have polished the idea of the game better for a delicate moment in which we live, if the game itself addressed all forms of "nursing homes" and age problems it would be sympathetic to the idea of protest and expression.

Yes, but seeing your grandparents being thrown off the stretcher in real life and then in the video game makes a difference? Regardless of whether the country is developed or not, having the person you love being abused is one thing and seeing that you are not the only one suffering such an injury and, at your leisure, do the same thing that you protest against?

If the objective of the game was "escape from this prison against elders" or even "you and her companions were arrested at a young age by a serial killer and now manage to escape" ....

We had this debate for many years with the Game carmageddon, where the intention was just to run over people, now imagine if it were directed at the attacks that took place in Europe where people were run over and stabbed to death? You see, the game is but it does not differ from reality, what is the point of wanting to play something that is exactly the horror of reality.
