Google misclassified a class action email notification as spam.

Class action was against Google.

I don't think it's directly nefarious actually. I think Google's spam filtering has followed the same death march as Google Search.

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.
