Kinect Support for Space Warlord

FAQ: Yes, We Support Kinect Q: ...This game supports Kinect? Yes! On PC only, if you plug in a Kinect 2.0 to your computer while the game is open, you can play through the entirety of the game using Kinect controls. Grab meat with your meat hands! Your body is the controller! We live in the future. Good luck. Q: Is Kinect the optimal way to play Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator? Absolutely not. Q: Why would I play a fast-paced reflex-based economic tycoon using Kinect? I have no earthly idea, but I am personally sending the first person to direct message me documented proof of using a Kinect to play through the entirety of the campaign (reaching the "The Top 0.1%" reputation level) a $50 Steam gift card. Primarily so I can meet the kind of person who would do that to themselves, and plead with them for mercy lest they destroy us all. Q: How did you put Kinect support into a game in 2021? I work with a brilliant, slightly unhinged creative programmer named Sam Chiet, and one day, at 3 AM, I blearily opened my phone to find a video of the game working with full functionality on a Kinect. And a tablet. And a Wiimote. You know, for the Nintendo Wii (2007). He apparently did all of those experiments in one night just because he could, and has since dedicated a large portion of his time to single-handedly becoming the final Kinect developer. I decided the safest option was to stay out of his way. Q: Why did you put Kinect support into a game in 2021? I embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be one of my own choosing.

A Steam-style FAQ explains that Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator supports playing the entire game with a Kinect, including controlling actions with the player’s body. The joke is the absurd contrast between a fast-paced economic tycoon game and an impractical motion-control setup, amplified by the developer’s deadpan story about an unhinged programmer adding Kinect, tablet, and Wiimote support. This meme is used as a reaction to bizarre overengineering, pointless features, or someone taking an absurd challenge far too seriously.
