Can some german explain to me what this even means to be sponsored by German ministry of transport and digital infrastructure?Is this some woke ESG government funding or what?
It's not necessarily outright woke. They probably had to fill out some paper and the bureaucrat responsible didn't deem it Nazi-work. They probably never really looked at the game itself.You have to understand, we are just a few steps away from a planned economy in the EU. Barely anything works unless you get free money from the government.
>>738446046to get funding you have to accept a bunch of demandsbasic shit, like it needs a german language setting or you need an actual company before applying etc.but it also includes a "culture test" which can basically be whatever they want you to include and this is how all the niggers and woke shit slips injust look at menace, you really think the battle brother devs wanted to make a game with smelly jeets, gorilla nigs or w*men?

>>738446046OP is so retarded and unskilled that he can't get his "Hitler RULEZ 420 Simulator" game partially founded by the government.Keep seething, shitting and most importantly never ever creating a single thing of worth anyone wants to experience.
>>738446504/thread
>>738446046It includes a forklift simulator chapter.
>>738446046X4 is sponsored by the German Gov and I know one thing they weren't allowed to do was have any gambling in the game. So yeah, there's stipulations won what content you're allowed to show if you want their support.
>>738446475To sum this up:- No illegal shit, no gambling. This includes nazi shit, which is illegal in Germany.- You have to actually make and finish and release your game or you have to pay that shit back- You have to get your game age rated, and get an actual result. If you made some particulary vile or offensive bullshit and get refused a rating, that's on you and you gotta pay it back.- You have to show how your product is related to germany in some way. Half the credit is just translating the game to german.- You have to develop mostly in germany, and hire people living in germany to do it.- You have to show that there's something creative about what you make
>>738446046Means nothing really, it's just how corruption works in Germany.You create a budget for subsidies, then you start spending it on every project your friends & family are involved in.
>>738447090Seems reasonable provisions for government funding>>738447431That's how it works everywhere
It means you get a grant for supporting the digital arts in Germany. What did you think it means? Most countries have cultural grants like that.
>>738446504I don't think Alabaster Dawn is of the same caliber as Goethe
>>738447431The big money goes to established studios, but I'm sure a couple grand here and there are diverted to some cousins friend somewhere.
>>738447796ubisoft only exists to grab government gibs
>>738447796Of course Ubisoft survives with my tax money. And here I thought they steal only from Kanada.
>>738446046Menace has that label and it looks normal aside from obligatory multi ethnic planetary army
>>738448374they steal literally from every country that has such a programm, see skull and bones
>>738447529America doesn't which is the standard for a free democracy.
>>738447090gotcha, gonna make my waifu collecting game with different little girls based on the traditional HRE provinces.
>>738446046What do you think government funding would mean, niggerOf course they'll pozz shit up
>>738448643(nb: americans actually believe this)>>738448867Be careful with both laws about sexualizing little girls and about gacha, which might be considered gambling.
>>738446046It's the main reason why German games (and movies, etc.) are pure shit nowadays. You basically can pitch your shitty game idea and get free funds for the game by German state / taxpayers. Pic related the best example. Game got a funding of 1 million euros. A god damn shitty crafting mmo. Current player count: 0. All time peak 784 players. Meaning anyone can build games without worries of competition. They just release it at some point and collect the money before. No problem if it won't sell. So why even put any effort in it?
>>738446046It‘s just money laundering. As with all government grants
>>738450074That's not how money laundering works, or what money laundering is. That's just plain old fraud.The problem is that the bureaucrats that decide have no idea how to judge a game. To them "modern snake" could well be the next best thing, because they don't know shit about games, and hey, what's the difference to the crap games that do take off from a bureaucratic POV?
>>738446475>Zuwendungsempfangenden>Verwendungsnachweisprüfung>BeihilfentransparenzdatenbankGerman is such a cool language, no wonder Japanese chuunis love it so much
>>738451062Don't forget Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
>>738451213>In 1999, the Association for the German Language nominated Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz for its Word of the Year award>but it lost to the topical word MillenniumHow can you have such a cool language yet be so soulless
>>738451062English can do the exact same thing but refuses to do so most of the time. Just put two words together that belong together like Twitchstreamer.
>>738446046It means that the game was funded by the German government, which qualifies it as propaganda.Thus there is no situation in which you ought to pay for it and are morally obligated to either ignore or pirate it.
>>738446046A grant since you help to promote german economy. We're so far behind in vidya matters the state hopes that pumping retard amounts of money into bullshit projects will somehow fix it.
>>738451873>it's propaganda>that's why mustn't pay for it, it's okay to consoom the propaganda but don't payPiratefags are the most pathetic people on earth, just say you're too cheap to pay instead of making up all those excuses
>>738446046they help with the enemy design using the brownoids who stab people on the trains as inspiration
>>738446046>Is this some wokeLemming.
>>738446274Planned = no innovation, wealthy families stay wealthy forever, slaves stay slaves.The western elites vision for the future is so noncompetitive china's system easily beats it.
>>738447090We got something similar it pastastan, i imagine most developed countries doThe government gives some gibs for culture and tech startups with the hope some of them will become either culturally relevant, i.e. soft cultural power, or profitable, i.e. tax revenue down the line, and creating jobs in the meanwhile
>>738449965>get to scam people while a bunch of libtards online defend you and call you a hero for taking their moneySounds based
>>738446475>>738447090So it is ESG wokeslop
>>738456402Yeah, if you're illiterate or consider anything below Sieg Heil Simulator to be wokeslop, then yes.
>>738451062>>738451481I forgot the name of it but there's a really cool version of English that only uses words with anglo/germanic origins
>>738446046It means that it's 100% politically correct and utterly boring because of this.
After the lass election the old voted out parliament did a last fuck you and took a 1 TRILLION loan to enrich themselves. This is how they distribute the money.
>>738457435yeah it's not like those grants have existed for many years or anything
>>738446046It's soviet republic nepotism don't ponder it to any great length.You have an uncle at the bureau and he slings some funds at you.
>>738446046Just leaving this here btw.Don't forget to work longer and harder, Hans
>>738446046>Can some german explain to me what this even means to be sponsored by German ministry of transport and digital infrastructure?It means my retarded state robs me of over 50% of my income to do idiotic shit with it. That said, funding some "idea guy" to create bad video games that are tangentially related to Germany is very low on the list of frivolous shit they waste tax money on
>>738458094German has tons of old guard leftist "civil servants" in low prestige place who'd srsly send mexican cartels tax money if they wrote them a letter explaining how the coke&fent is meant to stop racism/AfDEven the fed gov itself is sick of it and admits its a problem that needs to be fixed in just two more weeks unless more pressing matters come up
>>738458636I love it when they send millions to random shitholes for "bike lanes"Seriously what the fuck man
>>738461150You gotta understand, it's way too dangerous for them to ride our bikes on the street.
>>738461150When you think about it, pretty funny thing to do for a gov that used to rely on car sales for taxes so much. But guess that isn't an issue anymore now anyway, kek. Lets see how the drones perfom.
