Worst People Imaginable Freak Out Over Racist Plantation Game As Valve Watches From The Sidelines

On May 12, a developer going by FzzyBzzy released the wildly racist slavery simulation game Plantation Simulator onto Steam.

It’s a top-down sim game in which you play as a Southern plantation owner forcing a number of Black slaves to grow crops under threat of being beaten. That’s it. That was the game.

> For the first week or so this game was live, it mostly flew under the radar. No reviews, no players really, according to SteamDB. But around May 20-21, it started picking up.

>Reviews began to trickle in, the vast majority of them positive, containing racist commentary, and largely written by people who had played for less than half an hour. For context, the game’s concurrent player peak was 109 individuals last night.

> Posted later in the day yesterday, the 1.2 update changed the Black slave characters in the game to white people. A further update not long after changed the whipping animation to a string of hearts, put bikinis on the slave characters, and updated the mature content description to, “In this game, your friends wear bikinis and you can give them little kissies.”

We’ve reached out to Valve for comment twice now about Plantation Simulator and haven’t heard back, and the game remains on the Steam store at the time this piece was published.

Is this the most legendary bait and switch ever? Or a scared chud? You decide.

It seems like it was a bait and switch to troll racists. They slowly turned the game into a weird romance thing through updates.

Posted later in the day yesterday, the 1.2 update changed the Black slave characters in the game to white people. A further update not long after changed the whipping animation to a string of hearts, put bikinis on the slave characters, and updated the mature content description to, “In this game, your friends wear bikinis and you can give them little kissies.” Since that update, the user reviews have entirely flip-flopped

Oh 100% sounds like it was. What’s wild is that Valve allowed it to go up like that for a couple weeks, and then allowed the bait and switch to happen and still said nothing.

In my opinion it should have been pulled the second it went up.

The bait and switch, while hilarious, should from Valve’s end should warrant an optional refund window I think (but you know, fuck them racists). That’s just from the perspective of if another game did a bait and switch (a legit one) you’d want the same.

It never should have gotten beyond the approval stage to have been on Steam at all, IMO.

The creator, FzzyBzzy, who bills themselves on Twitter/X now as “Creator of the worst games known to humanity :3”, seems gleeful about all of this. In their announcement of the second update last night, they wrote, “Hi gamers! We’ve listened, and we heard YOU! We’ve fixed ALL the issues you’ve been wanting! We’ve added hearts and little kisses for your friends as you become the best new age plantation owner ever! Good Luck! And Keep Gaming!!! UwU.” Their tone on X is similar, up to and including a troll post just a few hours ago in which they “announce” their studio is closing and that they are laying off 200 employees.

Sounds like a legendary troll

Definitely not, and very concerning that it did

I'd have to look at the rest of their stuff before really deciding. I mean, all in all, they still made mechanics where you whip slaves and shit, thats fucked up, even if it is for a joke.

To be fair, you have the same mechanics in RimWorld. You can also harvest their organs or make them addicted to drugs that will kill them if they don't consume regular doses for the rest of their lives.

I'd have to go find it, pretty sure theres mad evidence the RimWorld devs are chuds anyway. Sad.

I mean, this is how I felt about the horse girl racing game, whatever it was called. It was pure misogyny and I couldn't believe the hype it was getting. Give girls diamonds, force them to race for you, treat them like shit when they underperform? What the fuck was everyone thinking?

On May 24th the dev posted:

Hello friends, lol >:3 We've decided to retire this game!

We've think we have said what needed to be said. We saw the opportunities and took them :3

We are reaching out to steam to take this game off the store page!! We do not know when they'll be able to address the request, but we hope it is soon!
