Globe & Mail game reporter checks out the latest Viva Pinata game. From the story:
"Microsoft is notorious for not offering much in the way of family friendly first-party fare for the Xbox 360. That said, they do have one property that offers a top-notch interactive experience geared explicitly for younger players in the form of Rare Ltd.'s Viva Piñata, a series of games starring papery, candy-filled creatures that kids can collect and cultivate in customizable gardens.
The first game in the franchise received warm reviews from the press, thanks to the way it allowed players to experiment, create their own goals, and share their creatures with one another online. The second Viva Piñata game-a poorly executed collection of short and uninspired party games-was a write-off. However, the series has returned to form in its recently released third instalment, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, which brings players back to the garden and offers a wide range of new activities and objectives...."
When Rare developed Viva Piñata it was a cute game for the Xbox 360 to rival Pokémon. It shipped, wholesome and lurid, with every new 360 for basically the console's whole lifespan and spawned a co-operative play sequel, Trouble In Paradise.
I'm confused, is this review a joke? Did this imbecile just write a tediously long extremely boring review just to somehow, in her warped brain, link it to capitalism in order to say capitalism is evil? Or did I read that entire review wrong? Can someone clear this up for me?
This is actually quite sad in actuality. This content writer could be using their time to actually fighting for liberation and the well-being for all in the living breathing world that is our streets, forests and communities.
In stead they choose to do it virtually in the most extreme capitalistic way (an environment where intangibility commands a high price for profit) with a boss begging mentality. How does this apply to those that want to be free from being exploited?
This isn't Marxism or even beyond left, it's a narrative of someone that is enjoying life as an exploiter and a sympathizer to all those that exploit.
The writer is a part of the problem.
Women make about ~80% of consumer purchases so, if anything, women benefit from the system and thus are the problem.
This was a funny read. The comments in here made it better, too.
Maybe, just maybe, some articles are meant to be entertaining and nothing more.
