Serious Games Interactive has earned the scorn of soldiers of internet righteousness due to a mini-game present in their point and click adventure game “Playing History 2: The Slave Trade“, a title intended to inform younger individuals about slavery – decried as “offensive” for its not historically inaccurate take on slave ship cargo stacking.
The mini-game in question was an ode to Tetris that involved lining up mangled slaves into even lines to score points, proving to be so “inexcusable” that the resulting commotion had prompted the developers to abolish the mini-game in its entirety (from the game’s recent Steam release anyway).
A PV for the educational title, which quite briefly reveals the “offensive” mini-game:
The game was first released back in 2013, but its recent arrival on Steam after a successful Greenlighting looks to have exposed it to the idle scrutiny of more socio-justiciars than ever before.

"Would you like a little whine with your game sir?"
PC assholes ruining the world one step at a time.
SJWs retards has nothing to do with PC or any other platform. In fact, they often don't play games at all, since they distract them from being offended in internet.
Political Correctness.
While normally they're getting upset and whiney over stupid stuff, this minigame honestly isn't worth defending... Who the fuck thought tetris would be a good mechanical medaphor for the slave trade.

Sure it wasn't tetris, but it was close.
Look up Slave ship, you'll find actual documentation on the best way to stack slaves.
Well it was pretty much like "Tetris" they cramped so many slaves in one ship to save money.
So the slave trade was analog tetris?
That is right progressives! Ruin everything for us! I svear, these guys think only whites had slavery.
There are still present day defacto slavery going on with human trafficking in SE Asia and gulf state nations, mainly exploiting non arab, non muslim populations from africa, india, and south asia. These pussies don't dare touch the real problem, just whatever they happen to find easier to bitch at.
Slave trades, human trafficking, actual real lack of female human rights, etc. but yep, complaining about a video game character's "unrealistic hips" or slave Tetris in an obscure game is definitely changing the world!
When your life starts to feel like a South Park episode...
Its an accurate enough depiction of history to educate the young. They learn black people were bought from other black people, stowed in ships are efficiently as possible and sold as property.
I don't see how this could offend. The history itself offends, maybe, but the educating therein should not.
What's funny is that they're going to wipe away enough history to where it'll be forgotten... and eventually repeated.
THANKS OBAMA!!
People are so easily offended nowadays. Even saying 'bless you' after someone sneezed would offend some.
Muh triggers!
I'm not offended by it. I'm fucking amazed someone thought it would be a good idea in the first place. I seriously want to hear the discussion that lead to Tetris and slavery ending up combined. I'd rather pay for that than this game.
It doesn't seem like there was much thought put into it. The tetris mini game is directly copied from their other identical looking 'historical' adventure game.
Game looks super harmless to me, just based on something from history people still can't let go and move on so it's not the game's fault.
How the hell would you even play this?
Tetris... with slaves... yeah, just like that.
WTF!!
I agree.
Children should see village elders sell their own for trinkets. Then the now slaves get shipped in horrible conditions where like half of them die.
More gore and death in kids' games please.
In fact why have any context at all. Could just be random gore and death. They could even be bondaged to a screen that plays snuff movies 24/7.
That would be so much better.
Why the trinkets? The nets worked far better...
The majority of the nets were sadly carried by neighbouring tribes, paid with trinkets and firearms. Took a lot of manpower to round up that many people.
-sigh- who cares about all that shit anyway, man, just get a life. Slavery is bad and all but whatever, killing is too and it's part of like every second game.
So the chronically offended got another game banned, what a bunch of bastards, just leave games alone FFS.
That's it, just bury your heads in the sand and don't learn about what happened in the past. After all, it's offensive. Far better to not know and repeat the mistakes yourselves. And heaven forbid we show just how ridiculous and sick it really was using game metaphors, rather than just making a bloody or boring movie that will win academy awards.
Yeah, everyone forget there was and is still slavery.
After all, we have the germans and their 70 year old history we can blame to make us feel better overall.
Especially here in the US. We just won't call it slavery.

Whites get so butthurt when they cant have their racist toys. In what way is this game educational with a fucking talking mouse? A talking mouse? In a "educational" game about "history?"
"Bu...bu...buuuut Blacks sold other blacks as slaves too!" Yeah they sold their ENEMIES but they didn't base their enslavement on RACE.
They need to make a game about the history of white people. The game will be about white people raping farm animals and little kids, shooting up everything because they get no pussy, and stealing all the resources. And every-time someone criticizes white people in the game, you fill a butthurt meter where you can run around yelling "SJW! Political Correctness! Muh Freedums!!!" when it gets full.
The world needs less slave African slave knkwledge, all it does is make blacks think they're owed something, when they have no idea if thier ancesters were slaves or not. How about a game about the Ottoman slave trade, where African pirates abductuted whole coastal towns of white Christians. Even the U.S. was forced to pay them to stay away. There were more white slaves than there were black.
With all due respect, hiding history does not work in the real world.
America has to acknowledge our part in the slave trade, but the AFRICANS also have to acknowledge their part in it since by and large it was AFRICANS SELLING AFRICANS into the slave trade.
LEGO Slave Trader looks super interesting. Would buy.
Dumb game, even dumber people actually getting offended by it.
Cant we all just get back to having sex with children or at least watching animated media of it sexually exploiting obviously teenaged kids on a daily basis?
Teenaged is too old. Over 12 is grandma.
Why is this even on SanCom?
I agree. How is this about weaboo anything?
Its called wapanese.
Came here to ask the same thing...
You know, i just wish the blacks didnt exist. Wouldnt it have been so much better for the world. Im just saying... well its true isnt it?
I wish you fucking die. Now.
You know... they COULD... possibly... maybe, mean that not in an offensive kind of way.
More like, they wish the issue of blacks, whites, whatever, didn't exist.
But...
humanity, and even other animal species have shown predilection to stereotyping a class of their own species.
So if it wasn't skin color, it'd be something else.
As for that guy... yeah, he probably doesn't want N word to begin with. But I try and see the better in people till they prove otherwise.
As for this game, I think it's hilarious.
I want one.
I think it is absolutely, blatently, and totally offensive. That is fully why I want it.
We NEED to find that which is offensive, and embrace it. Not shy away from it.
Then maybe we can do something about it.
I wish you would understand that people have their own opinions and you can't magically wish them into oblivion just because you don't agree.
Who made you God?
Would be much better if whites didn't exist.
Just think, who started the wars that killed the most people?
Arabs and muslims who genocided entire civilizations, took hundreds of millions of african blacks into slavery and rape, and even today who bitches and moans about 'oppression' while killing millions of their own people.
Nevermind japs and chinks who exterminated millions in their ww2 antics and pol pot regime support.
Watch that mouth boy :)
Jews, as a matter of fact. Not Whites. Who owned the stock in the colonial companies such as British East India Company, Dutch East Indies Company, etc? Rat faced kikes.
Yup. Blacks are a menace2society, in their own words.
