Controversial games of the past. (lemmy.ca)

I'm just sitting here thinking about all the hoopla around palworld right now and I was wondering what other titles out there have been in the controversy filled category in the past few years/decade? I can think of a few, but my game interests are kinda narrow.

What are some of your picks?

Damn pokemon fans have to be the biggest weirdos around. Even nintendo was like: look, we know, we looked into it, stop mailing us. And the pokemonkos just keep crying to their overlords because people enjoy themselves, sending death threats around. I was listening to the jimquisition podcast and she absolutely hated it for no apparent reason, other than it's not pokemon and a cheap pokemon rip off and she would rather play pokemon, than this game that is pro slavery and you van even catch humans. Which, completely fair imo, but just one week later she talked about yakuza and how they have a full fetched pokemon rip off in their game where you catch humans to fight for you, and it's the best thing ever.

A singificant number of Palworld players are Pokemon fans, that's why it's so successful. Weirdoes who take it too far are a thing in every fandom.

But Pokemon is pro slavery. It always has been. Beat them down till you can capture it, then have it fight for you or trade it off to someone else for something you want

Also, didn't one of the more recent games have the antagonists a group of people who want to release Pokemon. Making you the bad guy for wanting to keep slavery.
