Disaffected Update, T-shirts February 7, 2006 - by Ian Bogost
First and most importantly, we've rev'd the game to v. 1.0.3 on both PC and Mac. The update fixes several bugs, changes some awkward joystick controls (not the intentionally awkward ones), and corrects a few smaller issues. Some Mac users may not have been able to play at all for various reasons, and this update should fix that. If you've already got D! on your machine, I strongly recommend reinstalling this new version. And if you haven't yet endured the trials of our simulated copy store, why wait any longer? Next, you can now buy Disaffected! T-shirts to show your disaffection on the street, in your local Kinko's store, or even from the comfort of your own sofa. The excellent Guardian Gamesblog pointed to a recent Cnet story about anti-advergames (see below), noting that while some compare games like these to documentary, experimental satire games like Disaffected! and McDonald's Game have no distribution. That means we don't make any money, alas. This may change with new online sales channels opening up (1, 2), but for now there's always merchandising right?
