My favorite piece of Goose Game fanart so far is this one: https://i.redd.it/wbts33d7u6u31.jpg A bad goose variation on https://i.imgur.com/WPuSziL.jpg It's a simple and hilarious game. Haven't finished it yet, but strongly recommend to anyone who's on the fence.

if this isn't the work of a viral marketing company, they certainly have the possibility of a new line of work ahead of them after this. I can't remember seeing a viral marketing campaign as effective as this in a long time. edit: this comment is apparently oddly controversial for a startup-oriented forum. Perhaps someone could explain why? They have really struck marketing gold in a way most small companies would en…
I've seen a few people on Reddit insist that it must be an astroturf campaign. Because Reddit would never latch onto some random thing and meme obsessively about it for months, otherwise. It's extremely streamer-friendly (i.e. "fun to watch other people play and react to"), which is a big boost to virality, and it got featured by a hugely popular YouTuber (Dunkey) four days after its launch. And it got lucky. It's no…

It nearly got me to purchase something on the Epic Store. Nearly.
Why is that part of capitalism where Steam has near-monopoly on Games okay, but not the part where they have to compete with someone? Why would someone have loyalty to one huge corporation over another?
I don't get it.

I bought Outer Worlds on the Epic store. Bah. I don't like the Epic store but I really wanted to play that game. Game is awesome, I'm really not sure what deal ensured it wouldn't be on Steam.
I think that a lot of these are all coming to steam a year after launch - I'll wait until then. I've been finding it very rare that I need to play a game day one these days.

You could've gotten TOW for $1 on the Microsoft store through gamepass.

If anything, the EGS hate feels like an AstroTurf. I just do not get it.
It's a crappy store that seeks to compete with the dominant market player not through being better, but through throwing shit-tons of money at timed exclusives. Which itself isn't really that bad, but it doubled down on being hated when it started snatching up community funded games that were otherwise intended for release on several other platforms.
This might not seem necessarilty better for the players, but considering how many smaller game studios / creators are on the verge of profitability, this might mean we get to play games we wouldn't otherwise.
>“Untitled Goose Game is a safe, socially acceptable way to relieve stress,” the Washington Post declared shortly after the game’s release. “It’s the new punching a wall. It’s the new crying at your desk.” Likening crying at your desk to a delightful video game is exactly the kind of analogy that I would expect from one of Jeff Bezos' employees.
There are so many valid criticisms of Bezos, the companies he owns, etc. This is so unnecessary. The quoted line says nothing about Bezos.
I feel like this is somewhat close to the Goat Simulator. In that case, this will likely join my list of fun, but pretty odd games: * The Stanley Parable * The Goat Simulator * I am Bread * Starwhals * Octodad

That goose-version of the comic is (almost) in the loss format.

Hadn't seen that second link before. Just lost my good boy a month ago. Thanks for the unexpected (happy) office tears
