Yeah, seeing that took me right out of it
A bit strange that they are annoyed with capitalism but at the same time want people to come back day after day... Like a job.
I don't mind some critique of late stage capitalism, capitalism suck ass, especially the hyper capitalism we have now, with socialism for the rich and rugged harsh individualism for the rest. But I won't buy a game just for that.
What is a nonsense to you isn't to other people, though. What a bunch of boring games we would have if everyone was irked by things like debating capitalism. Thank god quite a lot of people have more than 2 braincells and we have pleeenty of options, for all tastes.
video game that says "capitalism bad:"
- Both cofounders of Spry Fox have MBAs from good American schools. We are far from "anti-Capitalist." We are "pro-let's-make-Capitalism-better."
- People on BOTH the right AND left of the political spectrum agree, for example, that health care costs in the US are outrageous, and that far too many hard-working people are subjected to medical-related financial bankruptcies DESPITE having expensive insurance coverage they paid dearly for, so when you see our little joke In Cozy Grove about "crowdfunding an appendectomy", it's worth understanding that we feel like that's an issue almost everyone can chuckle darkly at. Except maybe health insurance execs, I guess? Again, just an example to help see where we are coming from. We tried to approach all the "edgy" humor in the game through the lens of "can reasonable people of all types and backgrounds grok where this is coming from?"
(On a personal note, my father in law just passed away from what turned out to be cancer, which he had ignored the symptoms of for many months because he felt he could not afford the copays+deductibles on his insurance despite working a full time job. So he waited until his condition was really bad before seeing a doctor and... boom, got a stage 4 diagnosis. I believe that it didn't have to go down that way.)
And that is the very last thing I will ever say on this topic in these forums. You are all entitled to your opinions and I have no desire to debate anyone.
