"Prison Tycoon" most disgusting video/computer game ever

[jmowreader]

You read right: Prison Tycoon.

You get to play the part of a warden in a for-profit prison. You start out with a joint that's like a county lockup, and you work to become warden of a Supermax.

WHO THINKS OF THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!

[sasquatch]

1. Maybe its a mirror of ourselves

[ColbertWatcher]

3. I'm sorry.

[deadmessengers]

4. It's real

9. Thank you!

I will create a page for it on Wikiality.com and you're all welcome to add your own truthiness to it!

[ColbertWatcher]

16. Okay, I started it...

...everyone is welcome to join in and make fun of this horrific idea.

Objective

The object of Prison Tycoon is to increase your state's population to give your political party more representatives while incarcerating more people who are less likely to vote for them!

The winner is declared when there are no longer any opposing view points and your political party has a permanent majority at every level of government!

7. There's shit you can't come up with, dude...

and a video game where you run a fucking PRISON is one of them.

[ColbertWatcher]

13. There's shit...

...you shouldn't do.

I am just jealous now that I didn't think of this game first.

I wouldn't make a real one, but make a fake one to show the absurdity of it all.

[MetaTrope]

5. Actually it's up to "Prison Tycoon 3" now

Among the features added:

Interrogate military prisoners for vital intel. Earn extra bonuses by getting prisoners to provide crucial information.

6. It's pretty bad, but I think another video "game " that I saw on sale at Wal-Mart was worst.

It was called "Riot Police" and the object of the game was beating down "Hippie Protesters."

What Fun!:mad:

Check out the screen captures from February 10, 2004 <http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/riotpolice/images.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gsimage&tag=images%3Bimg%3B1&page=2>

"Riot Police is one of those games that are usually more fun in theory than in practice. This real-time strategy game requires you to use different police units to quell angry mobs. Using nonlethal weapons, you engage in running battles with incensed union activistsenraged student protesters, wild football fans who rampage after a game, and more. You'll have to take crowd psychology into account or you'll do more harm than good if you use the wrong tactics and whip outraged bystanders into a frenzy. On paper, this game features some neat ideas, but control problems, micromanagement, and other flaws often make Riot Police a lot less fun than it could have been...."

11. Yeah know, that looks awfully familiar...

after looking at the snapshots, it looked just like that fucking stupid game "Left Behind"! Same angle, same synopsis...

[NJSecularist]

8. Umm... so?

It's a video game. It's not real.

[jmowreader]

10. I'll tell you "so."

"Prison Tycoon" is rated "E for Everyone." I mean, it's a fairly tame game, as games go. Somehow I think they left out the parts about pruno. It's The Sims with bars. So you give it to your kids.

And your kids play it, and learn that Prisons for Profit is perfectly okay. Which they're not.

[Why Syzygy]

17. It also sends the message that putting people in prison and "breaking" them is a grand treat.

[ColbertWatcher]

23. Another message is...

...that incarceration is normal and there are some people who belong in prison and some people who deserve to "rule over them".

Very nasty this game is.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. But who plays those games?

Kids do; Who are extremely impressionable. A game like that or GTA for that, have real life scenarios in them and we do not need kids going around with those kinds of ideas in their heads.

It is one thing to kill a monster, a fantasy game is completly different. Putting people vs people in a real scenarios is not good.

[NJSecularist]

20. Well, make sure your kids don't get their hands on those games.

What is it that you want to do with these games? Do you want them to be prevented from being produced?

[hendo]

22. GTA only causes real crimes in the twisted minds of Jack Thompson

edit:

censorship is bad, mmkay

[Bjorn Against]

27. Actually it is mostly adults that play them...

Most games are being bought by men in their twenties and thirties, there are actually far more adult gamers than there are kid gamers. GTA is rated M meaning that stores are not supposed to sell it to you if you are under 17, and I don't know if you have actually played the game but it is not all about violence and sex like the media portrays it as being. It is actually filled with very humorous but thoughtful political and social commentary, I can almost guarantee there are some things in Grand Theft Auto that you would find some merit in.

As far as Prison Tycoon, I see a bit more of a problem because that is rated E meaning that it is supposed to be appropriate for even young children. Granted the content is more likely to appeal to adults so probably not many kids will play it, but it certainly doesn't look like a game that should be rated as being appropriate for children.

[Hugabear]

30. At least games like GTA are rated "Mature" with explicit warnings on the front

I don't know what parent in their right mind would purchase a game like GTA for their kids, especially when it tells you the game contains graphic violence, language, sex, etc and is rated "Mature".

[Hugabear]

29. Aw, look, it's a Hillary supporter sticking up for "Prison Tycoon"

Meanwhile, make sure that your candidate and Joe Lieberman keep going after games like Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and other "murder simulators".

12. "Left Behind" worst game ever. nt

[ColbertWatcher]

15. And this one is just another in the same mind-set.

I am starting to wonder if republicanism isn't some new psychosis.

[and-justice-for-all]

18. It looks that way does'nt...

getting to the youth early to turn out new little hatemongers.

[ColbertWatcher]

21. Well, if you're sarcastic enough...

...come on over to the Prison Tycoon page I just started on the Truthiness Encyclopedia and help make fun of these bastards.

[and-justice-for-all]

24. LOL! too fun!! nt

[ColbertWatcher]

26. Thank you! n/t

(ON EDIT: Change to just thank you)

[ToeBot]

19. Nope, that would be 'The Sims', all versions and add-ons. nt

[femrap]

25. psychopathic capitalistic males. nt

28. Wake up and take a look in the mirror...

..., that this game (one of many) holds up to US society.

That you personally are appalled by this game, GTA X and any number of others of similar ilk is small comfort, when the last several years (decades) have conclusively demonstrated that a very significant proportion of US citizens are perfectly happy with (and can be swayed by) the idea of gaining personal advantage (no matter how illusory) by smacking "the other guy" down.

Universal health care, minimum wage, workplace safety, reproductive rights, environmental protection, etc., etc. All of these critical matters have been defanged, if not outright euthenaised, by convincing enough voters that they somehow would personally be negatively affected if such reforms were allowed to proceed.

It matters very little that any number of electoral races were stolen to put the country where it is today. What matters far more is that sufficient dogs to fill the mangers exist, that such thefts can take place at all.
