"Capitalism" died when small proprietorships nearly vanished. Pretending it is just makes it easier to keep the illusion going. I don't think it's fair to call any Western system a "capitalism" - none of them are. The modern implementation of "crony capitalism", however, is really much closer to Feudalism and a return to a caste system than it is to either pure Fascism/National Socialism or "Capitalism" however. A front, creating the illusion of free enterprise where in fact none exists and is controlled from the top down. Which is why Mussolini coined it "Fascism." It's a facade. A communal ideological system masquerading as capitalism. The core problem you, and most, are feeling with modern capitalism is that it's not actually capitalism at all, it's a "crony capitalism", a.k.a. "Crony capitalism" is a cute way of saying "Fascism", which is itself merely a cute way of saying "National Socialism" - the actual underlying system of both, and the kissing cousin of Communism itself, as Lenin attempted to point out. Just like Capitalism, except at least Capitalism gives incentive for them to all fight against one another which creates some sense of balance to the system, where communal systems encourage them to work together against the masses, with no risk of outside interference. On paper it's a hard set of ideas to disagree with, it works for everyone pretty well, so long as it's viewed through the Rawlsian Veil of Ignorance and human nature is disregarded.īut putting it into practice involves humans, and humans will inherently distort it to favor themselves as a matter of human nature. Once you throw humans into the mix it's instantaneously corrupted and turned into a house of horrors, as history proves, without fail, over and over again. Mon 7th Oct Communal ideologies work beautifully.as an ideology.I’m ashamed of people in my gaming community who take stances against fairness. Why do so many people take the side of companies and corporations against the powerless in such situations? Are you all invested in exploitative corporate policies? Do you love the industry so little you can’t back positive change? They must have collectively sought to resolve their grievances, gotten what they perceived to be an unjust response, and escalated it in a way they thought appropriate. I would never assume folks who once agreed to work for a company that seemed great in an industry they love would turn around and irresponsibly “whine” about such an issue on social media. Barone, the person who actually created the game you love, for severing ties with Chucklefish. I want to know when my dollars will go to such people so I can make informed moral decisions. ![]() Sometimes that’s the only power people have recourse to. The legal system may not be able to rectify it but the court of public opinion can. I’m glad this information has emerged on social media. ![]() Since December of last year, I’ve moved to self-publishing on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox, and PSVita… Chucklefish is no longer publishing the game on those platforms. Neither Chucklefish nor any contributors working with Chucklefish were involved in creating the game, in any capacity.įor the multiplayer update, which came out on PC 2.5 years after the game first launched, a Chucklefish employee did create the multiplayer net-code, but that was the only case where Chucklefish was directly involved in development of the game.īeyond that, Chucklefish has served only as publisher, which means that they handled the business and marketing side of things, as well as contracting the localizations, console & mobile ports to 3rd-party companies. Throughout the 4.5 years of development, I was the only person to work on Stardew Valley. So I’d like to clarify a couple of things. I feel the need to address this situation because the connection between Chucklefish and Stardew Valley, as well as the degree to which Chucklefish was involved in the creation of the game, has been a source of confusion for many people. I am aware of the news and social media reports that Chucklefish allegedly engaged in unfair and potentially abusive labor practices during development of their game, Starbound.
