Built A Mall That Takes Money From Its Workers - Another Brick In The Mall

I've carefully designed and built a mall that makes money not from customers but from the employees themselves. This makes for some very unhappy workers and probably not a great mall overall, but it sure was a lot of fun building it! Another Brick In The Mall gameplay with my commentary as always!

Imagine the orientation for working here. You show up and there's 99 other workers at the same orientation. They show you the single bathroom. The huge line for the one vending machine. The pile of rats.

[@chickenbokernot2598]

those two games are suspiciously similar to each other

[@ReynaBloo]

There was to much stuff blocking the other machines so the workers could not use all the machines causing them to use only one which slowed the money gain

Real talk, have any Devs just come to you and asked you to attempt to break their games doing crazy things like this? Sure seems like an excellent opportunity to get someone to stress test a game.

[@thelocalwitch2405]

DF helping people while making people suffer! Sounds great

[@Pavel-yp2je]

@@onyxhurtz I know about game dev and (big companies anyways) use a team of testers who work with devs specifically and test specific parts of games and do boring repetition to do so. They would repeatedly attempt things in a level over and over and give detailed reports to be able to recreate bugs and possibly give assistance to their cause. What DF does wouldn't fit the quota of a game test team sadly.

[@cryptid-king]

There actually are some companies that do this with youtubers like CallMeKevin, RTgame, and GrayStillPlays

[@hallaloth3112]

@@cryptid-king Don't they just get sponsorships to play however they want? I have never heard RT or Kevin specially state they were asked to try and break the games they play,

[@cryptid-king]

@@hallaloth3112 i mean maybe but anyone who watches kevins videos knows that he breaks every game he touches. Most newer games that sponsor him actively patch out bugs and exploits he stumbles upon so even if it isn't the stated purpose I'm pretty sure that's why they sponsor him and similar youtubers

You're the employer I've always feared and have nightmares about

[@caseybouquet]

You were just hired by the new mall without applying but you needed the money anyway so you show up. You finally find a parking spot in the Infinitely expansive parking lot. As you walk in you notice half the staff battling off a giant amorphous swarm of rats the other half the staff is obviously dead. After a few hours of fending off rat after rat you walk a 20 yards to the break room, you fight to use the vending machine only to realize you’re paying more for a snack than what you’re being paid in a month.
