Its very sad that Daedelic is remembered for that because they made some actually good games before they got cash hungry and went public (wich is btw always the point a studio stops working for the consumer and starts working for the holders)

Their best games (Edna, Deponia, ...) were all made when Poki was still there. During that time they made some of the best modern pint-and-click adventures.

Before that they were remembered for the video game where you sell a black woman into slavery... As an organ grinder monkey. This is just karma.

What game are you talking about?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The third(?) Deponia game. Where you have the clones. There's one segment where you cause a woman to lose her job, trap her in a sewer, and "offer" her a job to escape the sewer by working as an organ grinder monkey. It's really fucked up.

Maybe not as fucked up as the puzzle where you lure a group of kids into a creepy guys van.

Deponia was really fucked up all together thats the fucking point.

Lol you didn't even know it was a thing and now you're an expert on it. And of course you immediately defend it.

You didn't even know this person existed before they commented saying the company that makes the game you're talking about used to be good and now you know everything about them. Wild.

Bro do you have to know every bit of every game to say a studio made Objectively good content?

And the mentioned thing isn't even bad in terms of gameplay, even if you personally don't like the one story element.

Get a life man.
