Rebel Scum is a game about politics and DriveThruRPG stated they had received complaints regarding the political nature of the game. DriveThruPRG says the political content breaks their terms of service and they told us if we removed the political content we could keep the game listed on their site. We said no.

That same site still allows RPGPundit, Venger Satanis, Daniel Fox, Zak Smith, and others to keep their works up. This is absurd.

Pundit, Venger, and even Fox don't put their politics in their books.

True, but their politics aren't hard to stumble across, nor was this the only RPG with political leanings on their platform.

I think the worst thing about this game is that I would save more money if I just bought the physical book than if I bought the pdf. A pdf should be at least half the cost of the physical book price, and that's just being nice about it.

Value is in the content, not the format.

Writing, editing, art, layout, playtesting, and design make up the bulk of a game's cost. Being a PDF doesn't change that.

This. Also, while PDFs do not have nice paper and biblichor, they are searchable and convenient for a lot of people. It's not just a cut-down version of the document, it's just a different version.

That's complete bullshit. Games are art, and art is inherently political. How can you push boundaries as an artform if you're muted from social commentary?

I'll be grabbing this as soon as I have enough spare change.
