Is Slavery: The Game even real?

Could be cool if it is actually a game that is coming.

The narrator is dutch. You can hear by his accent. I am dutch myself, and I would recognize this from anywhere on the planet.

@2 Agreed.

Pretty fitting as well, as we (the Dutch) were pretty much the biggest slavers way back when, in the time of the East India Company…

Its obviously fake if you look at the escapist link there is nothing providing that this is an actual game. Just someone poking at known sensitive area. And no publisher would get behind this as it is AO where no brick and mortar stores would touch an AO game let alone this type of game.

The fact that everybody, everywhere immidiatly recognized it as fake means it is a complete failure.
You can’t troll anyone if the reaction is “oh yeah, nice joke”.

Also, AO rated games do not apear on consoles, ever. MS and Sony do not allow it.

There are far worse games out there though. The christians have their own, and the nazis have their own.

Slavery isn’t nearly as offensive today.

“Dicipline them. Exploit them.” This must be a joke. A tasteless joke at that.

Did they announce what will be included in collector edition?

GAME OF THE YEAR 2012
@5 GOOD THING PC AND MAC HAVE NO FORM OF CENSORSHIP

@10

Actually it does because no digitial distributor would touch this with a 100 foot pole. Unless this developer wanted to just have be passed around via torrent.

Where in 2011 and we are still seeing these brash images of slavery… my god, what fail.

We all should be looking forward, not back.

trailer kinda funny

There was a DOS game, to transport Jewish people to the death-camp, gas-chamber them, and cremate them, it’s a camp-simulation how many Jewish people you can kill them before the war is over…

And im talking about 1990

Slavery is a part of history, but we shouldn’t create games like that…
Even the Dutch and British empire(colonize South Africa) are the biggest slave-transporter in 17century…

Spain/British are conquers, French/Dutch are settles & traders..

It wouldnt surprise me if this was some sort of anti-game stunt, trying to gather positive reactions to game as use them against the medium.

On a Dutch gamesite (gamekings), they showed the trailer for the first time, they said the game will be made by some guys who left Creative Assembly and started their own studio.

I’m pretty sure Microsoft and Sony don’t allow AO games to be certified for their platforms period, and if you check the ESRB database the game doesn’t exist/hasn’t been rated despite listing an AO rating logo and a link to the ESRB site.

It’s just a troll, but a very elaborate one, it seems.

@13 There are lots of those still around.

Which is why that video is a pretty poor attempt at trolling. Slavery is hardly the most controversial subject these days. It’s been 160 years, whereas something like American apartheid ended just 60 years ago, and South African apartheid just 15 years ago.

If it were real, there would be a company name. No company would bring this kind of intentional heat down on themselves anyways.

@3, For a Dutchman, you don’t know your own country’s history very well. The British had the East India Company, the Dutch had the Dutch West India Company.

Dutch people attempting humour. How cute.

I may not buy this game (assuming it’s real), but at least someone had the balls to make this and is not afraid of censorship…because of…you know who!

@20

They are afraid because there is no listing or information to contact this “developer” A troll is a troll is a troll.

Umm no, go to their website it has a their phone number and email. Don’t know if they are fake but next time I suggest you don’t make stuff up. I know this is fake, but still I think it’s a step against censorship, what people seem to forget is that anti-censorship goes both ways, like freedom of speech.

My guess is some kind of viral ad. CNN have been running a campaign to make it look like they’re “ending slavery in the 21st century” (illusions of grandeur 2.0) and that’s brought Unicef on board, and so rolleth the slavery train.

Really? LMAO!!! I would call it ass kissing to the extreme. It reminds me of that South Park episode, where Jess Jackson get his ass kissed, hahahaha, oh black people you crack me up! Next time they complain ill have my violin ready.

“Umm no, go to their website it has a their phone number and email. Don’t know if they are fake but next time I suggest you don’t make stuff up”

Not making it up Escapist already looked through all of it and it became a dead end.

@24
There is no mention of any black people complaining about this game. Only a article asking is the game even real, but your bigotry must be spewed. Same could be said about your constant complaining as well. Your complaining reminds of that episode where Cartman had to go to anger management. I guess you’re not happy with your T.M.I.

@26
You again? Eww I wont waste my time with a thing like you. Later Token!

@27
That’s fine. I am sure you have nothing substantial or griping to add. Apart from your usual meaningless spittle. Later Cartman!

It’s meaningless to you because you are one of the monkeys…so yeah. Like in the last topic, you have no logic, you can’t see (or admit) that the only people who complain (or will) about this game are your kind. So it’s useless to even talk about this with something like you.

They mess up the joke at the very beginning of the video with the ESRB rating. If it had been rated AO, there would have been a whole bunch of text in the box next to it that would have said what was objectionable about the game. The text that says it may contain things not appropriate for minors is only used when the rating is pending.

@30 THat and there is no ESRB rating through the ESRB.

What happened to the no racism policy on this site? This alakratt jerkoff needs to go. Calling someone a monkey? Talking about “your kind”. This is hate speech plain & simple. Yes, I am most definitely offended.

I assumed he was talking about white people? Damn albino monkeys…

Also yeah, that guy needs a ban.

@29

If you actually was using logic you would have a point. You’re the only one acting like a monkey flinging illogical and unfounded crap around. You’re the sub human around here. Always crying for logic but unable to apply it yourself.

Me banned? this beast313 (btw, an aninal name really suits you) started it, my first comment wasn’t even about him. If you people feel offended that’s your problem (what a shock), it’s my opinion, apparently you forgot that freedom of speech goes both ways, you don’t have to like what i say and viceversa. I was simply stating the fact that you can take your complaining (not you guys, but the people that are) and shove it…or keep it in the movies and music industries, and out of gaming.

Oh and btw, calling me a sub-human when i didn’t even said it, just shows what you really think of yourself…how sad.

Freedom of speech of course goes both ways, like you’re not going to go to prison because you’re a racist fuck.

Ban for being a racist fuck though? That’s aaaaaall good.

Dude, if I get banned it’s all good. At least I (easily) trolled the hell out of some of you.

Cool story, bro.

@31 – Yeah, but you’d only find out there was no actual ESRB classification for the title if you went to the ESRB website. Their using the ERSB rating wrong at the very beginning of the video pretty much tells you, before you’ve seen a single piece of video or checked the ESRB’s website, that it’s fake.
