Additional information about this story... Youtube video makers are also being threatened with takedown notices for videos that cover the game mode.
There's a pretty decent 20 minute video overview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HstyGiJB-Yw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HstyGiJB-Yw

- catchnear4321 4y agoOk but why not mention the name of the game? The link or the title might not have it, but that it doesn’t show up in your corrective comment either is… strange.
- cheschire 4y agoThe interesting part of the story for me wasn't the game itself. It's that early access games are at least in some part intended to guide development based on player requests. That a player is using their contribution to turn around and take the game down points to a fundamental flaw in the early access model that has found great success on Steam. Perhaps you're reading too much into it being a game set in the soviet republic? The game is called "Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic" The game is also made by a small Croatian company it seems. Is that interesting too? Or that the player is themselves a lawyer?
- catchnear4321 4y agoPerhaps you’re reading too much into my annoyance over the title of the game (or the dev or anything) not being present prior to clicking through. That summary would have made the url corrective comment much more interesting.
