Release id #230315 : Zelya - Slava Ukraini +4H

Submitted by Raistlin [PM] on 12 March 2023
I’m sure this thread will be moved to discussion soon, and locked…

On the release: while I 100% support Ukraine (Fuck Putin), this release makes no sense as-is… any Western or Ukrainian action to kill Putin will escalate matters, it’ll further the commentary that this is somehow “The West” against Russia.. the best way that this can end is if Putin is killed or removed by his own people.

Plus, it’s kinda lame reskinning old games - not that much work was put in on that of course. It was lame for sceners to do that in the 80s so, now, it’s surely even worse…

On those sympathising with Russia.. honestly, stop. If we consider what happened nearly 100 years ago as justification, how do you feel about Germany, Austria..? And, hell, what about the attrocities brought about by the English, the French, the Spanish..? The annexations in Ukraine were illegal. They displaced citizens, brought in Russian citizens and had a vote. How about if I bring a group of 10 of my mates to your house, we lock you outside and then have a vote about who owns your house??

To the forums with this thread :-) (better yet, lock it down completely before someone puts a foot in it).

Bacchus: Maybe I misread Lynx but I interpreted his comment differently: When Russia signed that act, they pledged not to threaten or use force against Nato allies and any other state. A pledge they broke when they illegally annexed Crimea, etc.

It is possible to be in favour of helping Ukraine to defend themselves and still think that releasing a C64 shoot'em up about an ongoing war is somewhat reductive and in poor taste.

We did expect a few comments from people fed the Russian troll cool aid, and we were right. Any argument that slags mainstream media as part of the argument is rather lame in my eyes. Proves the point of being blinded by the trolls.

Donbas was a region inside Ukraine. Period.

NATO Russia act? Do link to that. Sounds like a big laugh. Ukraine is a sovereign country. It's can chose to orient itself towards the west. But Russia is afraid of loosing control over their once puppets.

Vanja - well one can debate if a war game is the right thing, but there is a war and I see only three outcomes: 1) Ukraine falling after Russian bombed it to ashes and there is noone left to defend it, 2) Russia leaving after Putin having no options or 3) Putin being removed from office. The latter tends to happen through windows from great heighs.

I am a peace loving person, but I also think that power hungry dictators sometimes need to be stopped using power on the battle field. Like was done in the 40s.

Fuck Putin and his cronies with a rusty pitchfork, and Слава Україні, absolutely.

A war game though, really? Seems a tad inappropriate, somehow.

Please read the NATO Russia founding act, and judge again

I am an enemy of mixing the scene with politics. It comes out rather average - just as this production is average. Let us remember, however, that in 2014, after Maidan, Ukraine was the first to attack free republics such as Donbas. NATO has expanded in violation of all pacts. I'm not rooting for either side - I'm looking at the facts and the mainstream media. And cheering for the Ukrainians is an insult to their slaughter of defenseless Poles ~200,000 victims in the years '43-'45! Disgrace! In the evening, Ukrainians and Poles drank vodka, ate dinner, hugged each other. In the morning the Poles were already dead... You do not know this in the West, because nobody has written about it and will not tell you it. So, Slava somebody... Slava ...

It's surely not a satire project. It's the message first, the narrative in the docs secondly and the game third.

And I tend to vote ten on our own release to counterbalance the haters who downvote anything we do to ensure our average don't surpass theirs.

I really don't know. Support Ukraine? I'm all for it. But slapping a new title and a few intro pics on an old crap game? And then voting 10 for your own release? Is this some satire project?
