Yeah i mostly meant some schadenfreude since some time ago i pointed that out, and some people sadly even from here and hex were telling me to touch grass because apparently jokes about slavery and exploitation are cool (?) when popular game dev make it. Well, it's not as popular now, probably as we speak g*mers are already bashing the game for how boring it is or because they didn't had enough slavery idk.
In my experience, Hexbear as a collective often tends to have some very white blind spots that someone often has to raise a fuss to actually get them to self-crit. Nowhere near as bad as the non-grad alternatives, though. There's just still blind spots there, and I think their reaction to Palworld is def one of them.
Just making sure that I was not missing more context than "jokes about slavery" and in my book, that was enough to write it off.
Well there were also tons of players playing it exactly because the game isn't any subtle about slavery and being hyped about that in reviews. So i would say that game that prompted such behaviour in both devs and players is not exactly sparkling cool.
Honestly from the very little I saw from gameplay it just looked like a standard survival game with a gimic with the usual twitch hype just for the playerbase to fall in in still being in early access 3 years later
