Frostpunk is such a liberal game. Not my freedom being taken away by the big bad totalitarianist.

If people didn't become so fucking hopeless EVERY TIME a storm is approaching, I wouldn't care about signing this law. Our city has 15 days worth of food rations stockpiled and 13 days of coal, for a storm that last 2 days! All but the guard towers and the infirmaries are run by automatons. I have 13 automatons just... standing, doing nothing. Everything researched and fully upgraded. What's their problem?? I cannot make it any better than it is!

Frostpunk 2 review: I became a dictator because everyone was so goddamn annoying

This was long after the first political protest by the Stalwart faction, which I left alone, figuring it best to let them march and occupy things, then throw them some concessions. They murdered 500 people. Then another 500. This went on until I sent in some guards, and the thirty deaths resulting from this, the game told me, had "radicalised" the Stalwarts. Somehow the word on the street was the people who massacred a tenth of the population because I refused to research "Thought-Correction Prisons" were normal, sound dudes, and I was a tyrannical dick for stopping them. What did I enact a propaganda network for?
