Creator of drug lord hit Schedule 1 had a backup plan so that "if Steam wouldn't take it for whatever reason, I could just pivot it to be a farming game" and "strip all the drug stuff out" (www.gamesradar.com)

Of all the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 winners, Schedule 1 arguably stood out as one of the most unique – after all, it is about running your own drug empire… but, what if it wasn't?

After launching into Early Access on Steam, Schedule 1 took the web by storm and currently sits with "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews eight months on. Players praise it as a fun management game, with many spending over 100 hours in-game. At the Golden Joystick Awards, Schedule 1 further proved itself with a win and a nomination, bagging the Breakthrough Award and going up as a Best Early Access Game contender.

Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

But weed has medical uses, hasn't it?

the game also includes other drugs, but it really is just a fun title imo

Not according to the US federal government. Biden was in the process of rescheduling but the current guy stopped that. Iirc it was expected to be schedule 3 afterwards

It’s actually “moot”, as in “your point is moot”, just a specifically funny word to misspell while being a little snarky fella

Morphine is schedule 2, as are meth, heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine.

No it doesn't make sense
