Eric Barone, the solo developer behind Stardew Valley, sparked a brief media frenzy this week when outlets reported he was “open to” adding infidelity mechanics to his farming sim.
Why are these people like this? Why does stuff like this excite them? Why are they so desperate for debasement that they completely misinterpreted a clear answer?
It took me years of life and seeing degeneracy pushed to the point only a fool or a liar could deny it
It's God.
In this case, he's been VERY clear about adultery.
These people have rejected God, and wallowing in filth is what pleases them.
I played this game with my sisters when they were younger. It's made by 90s leftist. Conservatives would call him a "reasonable leftist", which means he has a somewhat coherent worldview. Eventually he too will cave in to the mob once enough pressure is applied. Also, he's a total gamma male.
What's worse is the game already has hints of infidelity and other dark stuff in it. It was very difficult to explain it to my 7 year old sisters withouth scaring them
>"The short version: Barone thought about it, decided against it on moral grounds, and said so in an interview. The internet mistook the hypothetical for a plan."
Call this quibbling, but it sounds like he decided against it on tonal grounds. That is, SV is a light, carefree game, and he didn't want the *requisite turmoil* that should accompany infidelity to disrupt that tone.
Of course, only considering adding infidelity if treated with realistic reaction is a moral stance, and an appropriate one.

Can you evangelize and plant churches in it?
iirc, the game allows butt "marriage". Once you've thrown yourself into that pit, there's no reason object to relationship breakups.

This is true.

I’m glad to see pushback against this kind of thing
