Context:
Relooted is a game in the making set in a fictional future where a team of Africans decide to get back the the artifacts that were stolen from their countries decades or centuries ago. The snowflakes of the right-wing gamers immediately took offense at this and started spamming their steam forums and (attempting to) review-bombing the demo.
What’s this about
As the title says, thank you to the people active in the steam forums actively commenting and reporting the racists, bigots, and trolls. I’m sure the developer appreciates the support and waking up to seeing comments other than “hurrduur black people be stealing hehehehehe” comments.
Keep it up :)
Oh boy, the Steam community is cringeworthy. Like, TPUSA level.

I remember when bait used to be good.
Honestly though, the game could easily have protags from… Actually like fucking everywhere, ands that’s just the British museum
Fuck racists. Wishlisted.
I love the concept. Not my genre and not my favourite art style, but the idea is really fun.
IKR. An endless supply of real-world adjacent McGuffins, stored in secure locations, with justification for plenty of guards, and none of them are “nuclear codes,” “war plans,” or “drugs.” It’s a great way to keep doing familiar and popular game mechanics with novel narrative, just by picking a different cultural reference.
