Screenshot of a paragraph from an article on a dark background. Several words are highlighted in yellow. The text reads: “Then, on May 21, FzzyBzzy updated the game with the 1.2 patch and made the slaves white, which angered a lot of terrible people and made this whole situation even more strange. Now, the game is gone, but there are still a lot of questions about how it was even made available on Steam and why Valve apparently didn’t do anything to remove it.” The highlighted words are “made the” and “slaves white.”

   Plantation Simulator was advertised as a game in which you could buy and abuse black slaves. This isn’t that notable. There’s lots of edgelord games out there made for and by terrible people.
   
   What is notable is that, a few days after it was launched—allowing for playtime outside Steam’s refund window—the dev issued a patch that turned all the slaves white.
   
   This upset a lot of awful people who bought the game with the expectation that they could enslave black people only to realize they could no longer do this. They were now stuck with white slaves. The whole thing was a rug pull.
   
   As of May 24, the dev has since removed the game from Steam, claiming he’s said everything he wanted to say.
   
   But before it was removed, this game had overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam. But not because it was racist. No, it was because racists could no longer live out their fantasy.
