YouTuber Reckless Ben has released a satirical video game that puts players in the shoes of a villain who steals building bricks from elderly people to expand their criminal empire.

Titled ‘We Steal From Old People: The Game!’, it was released on November 10 and was developed with independent studio One Big Sip, drawing inspiration from Ben’s online investigations, specifically his viral series about a dispute over a $200,000 Lego Star Wars collection.

Players are the villains

Revealed to Dexerto, We Steal From Old People: The Game! flips the premise of Ben’s usual videos by making players the people he would ordinarily be investigating.

Rather than exposing wrongdoing, players are tasked with stealing bricks from unsuspecting seniors, building an army, and expanding their empire while fighting off internet vigilantes determined to bring them down.

The game obviously riffs on Ben’s investigation into Bricks & Minifigs, a Lego resale franchise involved in a dispute with the Mansell family over a collection reportedly worth $200,000 that was allegedly never returned after being consigned to one of its stores.

The two parties have since reached a settlement.

“With this game, I wanted to put you in the middle of the chaos, where you’re the person everyone is trying to stop,” Ben said. “It’s a completely fictional satire inspired by the world of my videos, with the absurdity pushed so far that reality goes out the window.”

The project is being developed by One Big Sip, a small, self-funded indie studio co-founded by Dayton Mills and Zack Harmon.

“Collaborating with Reckless Ben has been an incredible experience. I can only describe it as feeling like a bunch of friends in a room just having fun and making stuff,” the developers said.
