And here I thought it would somehow be an advertisment for Dante's Inferno 2

Slavery Game's Mystery Finally Solved
- Thread starter Marshall Honorof
- Start date
If a developer can pull off a AAA Title about Slavery (either RPG, Economy Simulator, etc) I would pay $60+ for it. Include many sexy Chicks that you can interact with, freedom to roam around and develop your kingdom of debt slaves(workers), gladiator slaves, sex slaves, and construction slaves. The world is yours, take it! Give it a mature Content rating and some beautiful art work and Ancient History, and you won't have that much backlash, and a few hundred million in the pockets.
If you need further marketing/investment inspiration for this idea, just look at the successful MiniSeries of Rome, The Tudors, Spartacus, and Camelot.

Having had to undergo quite the bit of education on slavery (including having to watch amnistad, which really isnt ment for 14-year olds, dispite the educational value), I think it might be a tad excessive, though kinda neccecary in a way, 'cause the talk about "them dirty foreigners/non-whites" is becoming too tolerated here (thanks mr Wilders...)
We may not be proud, nor like that's it's happened, but we can never forget what was done in those times.

Which would have hurt the publicity they got.imnotparanoid said:
Almost certainly why they didn't.
Up next, Slavery: The Musical!
Javelin Reds, the name of the company that was supposedly putting this game out is an anagram of De Slavernij. Which translates to "The Slavery" in Dutch. Interesting stuff, eh?
CAPTCHA: briefly off the Marc. No CAPTCHA, I am not off the mark.

Great marketing, really.
And the Gamekings guys are probably celebrating their first international, eh, 'scoop' right now.

Anyone else disappointing that it wasn't an ad for a slave rebellion game? There have been documentaries and books about it but no game where you fight as a slave against your masters. The closest thing to it were Age of Empires The Asian Dynasties Indian campaign and even that was a poor Mengal Pandey knockoff and Red Faction.
Oh. Damn, I was looking forward to a business type game. Looked like it would have been fun.
Oh well.
Looked like the gameplay was good.

You know, I can think of many ways to advertise your product. This is not one of those ways.
If the Extra Credits were here, I'd like them to see this and give their opinion, though I'm pretty sure we could see it coming from a mile away.

Don't have much to say about the topic short of, every time I think of the Dutch nowadays I think about this scene in Deuce Bigalow:Marshall Honorof said:
Not that I hold anything against any specific Dutch... person.
Am i so wrong for being disappointed by the fact it won't be an actual game? I mean, all controversy aside, i think if done well, it could be interesting theme for a game. Sure the trailer was overdone, painting slavery as something to cheer for, but a darker, strategy-sim built around that specific issue would be something i'd like to play.
In a way The Sims is a slavery too... <.<

Well for one I can't get the nederland 2 network and if its an exclusively netherlands network why the hell is the video in english?
Also I remember the last article on this the author said he put it in the anogram translator trying to figure out what the company name meant. Lol should have use one that knew dutch.
