Challenging the limits of humanity? "Slave Simulator" sparks outrage in Brazil! The game called "Slave Simulator" created by the Malaysian studio Magnus Games was launched on the Google Play Store on April 20. According to its description, "Slave Simulator" is a management simulation game that allows players to "buy and sell" slaves. Players have the choice to become a rich and cruel slave owner or a hero who abolishes slavery. Although the game offers the opportunity to play as both a tyrant and a liberator, most of its content is focused on portraying the slave owners. In the game, players can trade and buy and sell slaves, and there are three types of slaves available for players to command: "workers," "gladiators," and "prostitutes," each with specific values on the virtual market that continually change. During the game, players need to prevent slave revolts or escapes, improve their income and accumulate wealth by training and trading slaves, and even bribe officials with money to hinder the process of abolishing slavery. Additionally, the game includes a complete system of slave trading processes, and players can subject slaves to various forms of torture, including whipping, branding, and cutting. This game quickly sparked strong opposition and condemnation from Brazilian society and led to a government investigation. Federal Deputy Orlando Silva expressed disbelief that such a cruel and barbaric game could be released in a country that has suffered the trauma of slavery, and he officially filed a complaint about the game with the Brazilian authorities. Similarly, federal deputy Denise Pessoa emphasized that spreading cruel and hateful content through a game is unacceptable in a country where racism is considered a crime. People being tortured to the point of death is not a subject for casual entertainment. On the same day the game was taken down, Brazilian regulatory agencies initiated an investigation into how "Slave Simulator" could have been listed on the Google Play Store. Google's official statement declared that they have strong policies that all developers must follow, and any description or promotion of senseless violence is prohibited. Users have the right to report and monitor such violations, and Google will take appropriate action when they identify policy violations. The treatment of a highly sensitive historical topic, such as the transatlantic slave trade, in a video game format was met with strong criticism and public outrage. This game demonstrates that video game developers must be extremely cautious when handling such topics and must comply with the legal and ethical standards of the specific regions they intend to distribute their games. Game developers should be aware of the profound impact their products can have on society and culture and, therefore, should act responsibly.

O inesperado é ter aparecido blogs de reportagens brasileiras, mas falando sobre o contexto, já começa estranho pelo fato de alguém fazer esse jogo.
