The POSTAL Dude is back!

Several years have passed since the events that devastated the once proud town remembered as Paradise. The only two to walk away from the cataclysm unscathed, the hapless everyman known as the Postal Dude and his loyal companion Champ, drive aimlessly through the scorching deserts of Arizona looking for a new place to call home. After a fortuitous gas station rest stop ends with their car, trailer home, and the rest of their worldly possessions stolen, all the Dude’s seemingly got left to his name is his canine cohort and his bathrobe, and neither of them smells all that great. However, on the horizon, the duo glimpses an unfamiliar and dazzling town that beckons to them. What untold prospects lie within? Fame? Fortune? Maybe a bidet or two? Edensin awaits.

POSTAL 4: No Regerts is a satirical and outrageous comedic open world first person shooter and the long-awaited true sequel to what’s been fondly dubbed as “The Worst Game Ever™”, POSTAL 2! (No third game is known to exist.)

Key Features
  • Free roam, open world, sandbox gameplay: Approach your daily set of Errands in a non-linear fashion! Seek out optional Side Quests for additional rewards! Or ignore all of that and just cause general pandemonium at your own leisure!
  • Jon St. John, industry veteran and legendary voice for Duke Nukem, in the role of the POSTAL Dude!
  • A brand new town to explore: Discover Edensin and unearth the dark secrets of this gambling town! Visit the local penitentiary, but don’t become a permanent guest! Meet the mysterious and exotic locals at the Mexican border! Cruise the roads in style in your own fashionable Mobility Scooter! Test your luck at the casinos on the Zag, all under the watchful eye of the monolithic ERC Tower!
  • Pacifist vs. Aggressive: Enjoy full freedom in your choice of playstyle! New ammo types and other tools to greater support peaceful (or non-lethal, at least) confrontations, but violence is still always an option too!
  • Over-the-top arsenal: Series classics return such as the iconic Shovel, Gas Can, and the famous boomerang Machete! Brandish new weapons like the AK and Tazer Baton! Set traps and unleash feathered chaos with the new Pigeon Mine! Get creative with the Spurt’n’Squirt’s unique liquid ammo types: Fill it with water to put out fires, gasoline to create an improvised flamethrower, or urine to shower Edensin’s residents!
  • Potent Power-ups: Add that familiar POSTAL twist to your weaponry with power-ups such as the classic Cat Silencer, the slow motion-inducing Catnip, and the dual wielding Energy Drink!
  • Bevy of interactivity: Feed Doggie Treats to strays to gather canine armies to do your dirty work! Grab and carry around objects to stack them and reach new areas or just throw them at others to annoy them! For the first time in the franchise, use and flush toilets!

I mean, what have they done to stay afloat all these years?
They made the Postal 1 Remaster and a Postal 2 Expansion.
Sounds great. As it currently stands, it is a bit too early to accurately judge the game since it's in its Early Access. I hope though, that people wouldn't try to harrass or publicly outsed the developers for making the game, even when it labels itself as satirical.

That will depend on whether it's punching up or down, in terms of giving the devs shit for the game's content.

Postal 2 has sold between 2 and 5 million copies on Steam. Granted, a lot of that is bundles and steep discounts, but I think their back catalog, plus the expansion for Postal 2 from a few years ago, plus the game's modding community, has meant a steady trickle of income.

I say this because of how extreme people take their own personal views. No longer is it about not supporting the company and voicing their displeasure at the content. It has morphed into doxxing employees and trying to outright ban said content/game from storefronts, as was the case particularly with the game, "Hatred".

I don't condone that behaviour, but I also don't condone trying to push alt-right/gamersgate screed under the guise of satire and if that is indeed where Postal ends up drawing its story from, RWS pushback is deserved. Again, not saying they should be doxxed or banned, but they should be publicly called out for it and if the game tanks as a result, so be it.

These developers support far-right nationalists in their home country and advocate for a harassment campaign designed to chase women and people of color out of the games industry.

Given that you immediately name-drop Hatred, a game made by a developer who featured several staff members with ties to literal neo-nazi groups, I’m assuming you’re just being intentionally disingenuous. But if you aren’t, you may want to know how ridiculous it is to complain about uncivil people are to those who attempt to spread barbaric bigotry and suffering.

Can you provide sources to staff members support those groups or that Running with Scissors developers supports far-right nationalist. The gamergate controversy was a bit complicated, but it ended with both sides having extremists members and deciding it was ethical to doxx each other. I am not condoning neither of their actions nor what each try to portray themselves to be. (That went a bit too cynical.)

Also I didn't state it was unjust to complain. What I was against was harrassing or doxxing the developers for including content some might disagreee, despite being labelled as satirical, You are free to dislike it,, however given the political climate and how extreme everyone makes everything out to be, the likelihood of some lunatic thinking their actions, which has the ability to ruin or harm another person livelihood, is justiable based on some content released for a video game, being greater than it was a few years ago.
