Can I get any special deals if I preorder now?

For Bioshock or for marrying dogs?
If it's the former both Bioshock one and two are already out.

I think I know what game I'll be making one day.

Cuz I would love it if more video games followed a more libertarian bend. The main ones I can think of right now that even involve the discussion would be a couple of BioWare games, although it tends to be more indirect.

Well, if I can get my hands on some more cash, I would love to become a producer for a pro-libertarian RPG of some sort.

It would be sweet to introduce some none-intuitive "Choices and Consequences" to the game. Like helping a union to establish a minimum wage law in some small town, making the players think they did the "good" thing. Only to realize later, that some shops are closed, because they can't hire people anymore, thanks to the minimum wage.

Also, I would actually try to get this guy as a writer: http://www.youtube.com/user/sfdebris?blend=1&ob=4

Not exactly libertarian but still with a message behind it that I completely loved was Persona 4.  The big theme behind it was "truth vs deception."
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

I thought I was the only one who knew about that guy. If he helped write your game, I'd be first in line.

QuoteAs if you don't already know the answers to those questions. It's a waste of time trying to convince someone with a closed mind about the basic principles of motivation, innovation, capitalism, and reward for effort. But I'm sure Edison and Gates and all the rest would've just as soon done it all for FREE, right?? I might as well be talking about the free market to a hardcore capitalism-hating socialist - some "liberaltarians" practically are that in many regards.

Yeah, thank god for copyright laws, we wouldn't want the REAL inventor of the light bulb to be left unrewarded, right?

You think I should link him to those videos showing that IP laws actually hurt, not help, innovation?
Or that Mises Institute Daily, "The Fallacy of Intellectual Property" which explains why IP is not compatible with real property rights?

He does kind of have a point, that Reason.TV is a bit hypocritical here. Alright, IP laws are bad for the fashion industry. What about every other industry then?

Still, he hasn't really given any actual reason for the existence of these IP laws, besides the usual appeal to good intentions.
