Estimated Release Date: Spring 2012
Because we feel that the freedom of the Internet is threatened by huge lobby of recording industries, pharmaceutical concerns and supercorporations, we have decided to create a simple thematic game for PC and MAC platforms that will present the main points of these agreements and their risks in an attractive and entertaining way.
Player plays for V (Anonymous) who's fighting huge Monopoly Monster with tentacles. Monopoly Monster is trying to reach Government and Media using its tentacles in order to influence them to act to its liking. V runs around and cuts the tentacles in order to stop it. The point is that tentacles keep growing and no matter how player tries, it doesn't lead to success. The only way to beat Monopoly Monster is to get behind him where it becomes clear that it's sort of Frankenstein figure animated and kept alive by recording companies, pharmaceutical concerns and super corporations.
The game is developed for PC, Mac and Linux platforms and will be distributed for free.
You can support its development on the web of our partner IndieGoGo or by sharing. Thank you.
NER stand in the matters of ACTA, SOPA and PIPA agreements:
Nitromsoft Entertainment Renaissance (NER) is an independent Czech development studio with a variety of award-winning commercial and freeware products that are successful both at local and international levels.
NER doesn't agree with the ACTA, SOPA and PIPA agreements and considers them ineffective and regressive. The argument that its main purpose is protection of copyrights and precaution against plagiarism is false and misleading. The main motive behind these agreements is indisputably the greed of huge corporations that only wish to see more billions on their bills. It's important to note that it is the greed of corporations that is suffocating the current economy and is keeping the world markets in chains thanks to:
- the overwhelming accumulation of wealth on one side of the economical spectrum that arises from constantly increasing prices of everything (or keeping them high artificially)
- maintaining a dominant position on the market by every possible means
- keeping their own expenses as low as possible at the expense of their own employees and other external resources that would otherwise bring the money back into circulation.
NER is publishing its products on the App Store for iOS platform, which is a shining example that shows that if the market adapts to customers and modern trends then it's not necessary to force them to pay by any other means.
Corporations asking high prices for digital copies whose duplications do not cost them anything are a relic of the old market model and ACTA, SOPA and PIPA agreements are nothing but a desperate effort to keep their dominant position on the market.
Shifting towards the new market model, where the prices of digital copies drop to minimal level and the market opens to wide variety of smaller producers, will be much more advantageous both for the end consumer and the whole economy as the prices of products of the same quality as before will be many times lower and the choice will be wider. The decline of corporations will create space for more, smaller producers who have an interest in innovation and setting the market back in motion.
ACTA, SOPA and PIPA agreements do not benefit consumers or the economy, but only a very narrow range of interested groups.
