Stellaris, the massive grand strategy game from Paradox is going through another update cycle and one little feature of the upcoming patch is the ability to accept refugees, but some people aren't happy about it.
It seems a delicate little flower on Twitter just couldn't take it anymore:
I wish I was making this up, but it's a real thing.
It was in response to this picture teased for the upcoming 1.5 patch release:
They have since added an option to only select accepting the same species.
The responses from Martin are perfect:
I love the way he ended that discussion. For those who don't know, Martin is the Game Director for Stellaris at Paradox. I already respected Paradox as a studio for their great games and great Linux support, but this is just icing on the cake.
They are having fun with it on their own forum too, as some more delicate petals just can't take it.
I think it's a fantastic feature to have and hopefully it will speed up my own planetary growth when other sides go to war, if I choose to accept them that is. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Great that we can agree on people complaining about stuff in computer games, and I guess by extension anything else in entertainment, for delicate flowers :)

Quoting: GuestI'm spanish, and the EU is capitalist shit.
What leader in the EU is a marxist? They are all capitalists.
All this thread is confusing me so much, do you even know what capitalism is? Do you even know that having a party called "socialist" in the administration won't make a country communist?
Maybe you should stop assuming. I know my shit.

Quoting: medvelet your product be free of real-world politics!
Free of current, actual real world politics, maybe. But never otherwise. Not even free of "insinuation" of current real world politics.
Because, if you haven't noticed, it's about playing. And this means, it's about engaging in a non-serious activity with no repercussions in reality. So yes, a game is where you can actually try out things -- including genocide -- without it having any impact on reality. And it's important for it to be so, lest some fucking morons try out genocide and other such shit for real, instead of in a game.
So don't ever go and criticize a game for providing a safe space for trying out things.

You're trying to tell us that the chairman of Goldman Sachs is a Marxist?

Quoting: ArkonaIf I was you I would delete this post from the site. There are so many people who's family members and close friends were killed only in the last year, or raped, or raped and killed, who will find all this very offending.What does any of that have anything remotely to do with refugees in a fictional game? Nothing.
I sincerely surprised that some publisher answer like that to people they expect to buy there's games talking about such a controversial thing.
This is also a huge black spot on this site and you should not write about such an incident. Except, of course, if you are hoping for financing from Soros and company. But I think that it's not a good idea.

Quoting: Colombout look closely at EU (or recently at UN) leading people. A lot of them are marxists, or at least they were quite active in communist party when they were younger.
Yes. That's why EU forced Greece to raise taxes, raise wages, raise pensions and nationalize their airports.
Or so they would have if they were by any means socialists or marxists. In reality, they did the opposite.

QuoteNice, all this time working for capitalists and paying for housing and food and i was just being retarded, i can go to my nearest collective factory, work there and get some food for free in the way to my free house, thanks for the info
Do you have even a slight idea how it actually worked in communist regimes? (I am not speaking about idealistic images of Utopia as was imagined by some people, but actual implementation). Something inspired by communist ideology could be implemented in many different forms. Or do you think that in Soviet Union, you had everything for free?

I happen to live in Germany (Western, though), so yes, I do a little.
EU policy is capitalistic, not marxistic, as shown.
Linking Wikipedia articles and images or asking rhetorical questions won't change that.
