the game seems p hilarious
sad that asians are jumping on that "everything is racist" bandwagon
A lot of Instagram-loving foodies are perpetuating racist stereotypes about ethnic dishes

LMAO

Uh it absolutely was a racist depiction of Chinese restaurants. From "sweatshop" being a working speed mode to chasing cats in your alleyway when you're running low on meat in your inventory. Shit, the developers even named themselves Big-o-tree Games as a pun on bigotry.

Anecdotally, my family and friends weren't particularly offended. We'd have tried it out if it was free, but it's not worth paying for a game built on tired and overused stereotypes, even if they're not entirely baseless ones. We probably derived more amusement from the fact the devs were based in Markham.
