Miney Company: A Data Racket

Miney Company: A Data Racket is a free to play VR physics-based racquetball-inspired game about hacking. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has tutorial. Funny. Has 13 steam achievements. Challenging. CONS: Does Not work with Index controllers. Try this game, you might like it.

"Miney Company: A Data Racket" is a simple and pointless VR tech demo that plays a bit like Pong, only somehow worse. Wave your arms around in VR to bat balls at various enemies/blocks. There's some kind of theme around working for a data mining company... this has little if anything to do with the actual gameplay, which is just a shallow mess. Even though the game looks pretty bad (and decent visuals are a minimum requirement for any game), we can be fairly sure this is not an asset flip. This is because the game assets look so bad, no self respecting asset creator would publish them. That's a fail. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets of any level of quality usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes acros…

Игра 'Miney Company: A Data Racket' – это удивительно затягивающая смесь стратегического менеджмента и мрачного юмора, обличающая корпоративную жадность и слежку за данными. Ты управляешь шахтёрской компанией, добывающей не ресурсы из земли, а личные данные пользователей. Игровой процесс построен на сборе данных, их обработке и продаже, что требует постоянного баланса между прибылью и репутацией. Последствия ваших действий действительно ощущаются: негативные утечки данных приводят к гневу общественности и штрафам, а успешные операции приносят огромные богатства. Особенно радует стилизация игры. Мрачноватый арт-дирекшен и циничный, но местами забавный текст создают неповторимую атмосферу. В целом, игра отлично поднимает важные вопросы о конфиденциальности данных и корпоративной этике, не забывая при этом развлекать. Рекомендую всем, кто любит тайкуны с моральным компасом, направленным в обратную сторону.
