About us

Capitalist Overlord Raccoons, is about being earnest and enthusiastic about video games and, sometimes, less earnest and enthusiastic about their publishers.

We believe game development doesn't need to be protracted or involve crunch. We're most interested in covering modest titles (read: what we mean when we say 'make bad games') that focus on being fun, rather than turning the consumer into the product. That means less focus on covering the latest games, and more about what we enjoy. We also love older titles, and especially get a kick out of old games being saved from extinction.

There are no hard and fast rules, mind you. We cover whatever we like - usually games playable on an actual computer.

We're also looking for contributors to talk about games they love, publishers they don't, a fun game they're making, or a secret fourth option we don't know about yet! Have a pitch, or a review code? Get in touch at please@makebad.games

Subscribers can expect an newsletter of varying length - which will also be posted on the site - sent to them once every month. Other articles may be posted on the site but not sent as an e-mail within that time.

We're aiming to open up a pay-what-you-want model with enough traction.
