A website and trailer recently appeared for a supposed real-time strategy game called Slavery: The Game. All signs point to it not being real, but one way or the other, the makers of Total War have nothing to do with it.
The trailer, seen above, talks about the “game” being set in the 17th century, when Europe still ruled the world. Players are able to buy slaves and then “discipline” and “exploit” them in an effort to “become the most powerful slave trader.” An inventory screen shows that players can level up and equip different weapons such as a whip, rifle, and spiked club.
Now, it goes without saying how offensive something like this would be if real, but even as a joke (or a publicity stunt), it’s going to cause a great deal of outrage.
