Handheld Gaming Galore #BlackLivesMatter

Factorio was a game featured in the latest Nintendo Direct.

Here's why you should probably avoid it.

• The director of the game and founder of the studio, who goes by the username kovarex, defended the rape of underage students by their teachers on reddit.

• Kovarex also defended the misogyny of one of the programmers that worked on the game. This person, known as "Uncle Bob", stated that women shouldn't be senior software engineers. Kovarex defended the comment from that employee by claiming that "Uncle Bob" probably had valid reasons as to why he thinks women are incapable of being software engineers. He never provided a single reason, tho.

• Kovarex also defended homophobia.

When Kovarex was called out on social media about his regressive views, their official Twitter account celebrated the controversy as free publicity.

Alright. This was merely a heads up to anyone that may want to avoid supporting shameless toxic devs.
