Games about unchecked capitalism?

[Arvaos]

Which games warn about the dangers of unchecked capitalism like Cyberpunk 2077?

I love Cyberpunk 2077 and Bioshock, any other game that warn about the dangers of unchecked capitalism?

Great game. Really fun. A fast paced economic RTS. Corporate shady work included.

I'm surprised nobody brought up Cruelty Squad

that's about demons, capitalism is just something people do. like murder.

the demons are trying to run society, so they make capitalism and murder rewarding.

iirc the most rewarding industry in-game is funkopops and stuffed animals, but when the demons based society around those things people rebelled.

but capitalism is human nature, so it's because of capitalism.

y'know and not humanity being ♥♥♥♥ that fell on the ground when god was trying to plop himself in the face and forgot what he was doing.

Again, Vault-Tec itself is one of the most heavy-handed anti-capitalist poster childs I have ever seen.

It may not have been "the point," but if so it came out subliminally. Because whether intended or not, Vailt-Tec literally is straight up and down a critique of capitalism all day and all night long.

If you like Cyberjunk 1977, you are super strange guy.
I mean, I don't deny you but... isn't there much better way to kill time?

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Borderlands. But I get it... most people probably weren't reading or listening to the mission logs. Part of the world building is that Pandora was exploited by mining corporations in a universe where OSHA clearly doesn't exist. When it turns out that the Pandora is actually weak in mineral wealth, the corporations pack up and leave the miners to their fate. Some of who were forced laborers. Many were driven insane, which is where most of the bandits are coming from in the game.

Each game also pretty much has a premise of some sort of corporate hellscape. Borderlands is capitalism on speed or anaracho-capitalism being taken to the extreme.

I mean, you can't have this thread without this:

It's literally the name of the game.

Also, I highly recommend the Executive Assault series. Is it really about the dangers of unfettered capitalism? Sort of. Although, again it's more the result of anarcho-capitalism. It's quite literally an anarcho-capitalism simulator. Still fun as Hell though. I highly recommend the sequel, but I'm also a sucker for good space games. You basically lead a corporation to dominance in an FPS/RTS hybrid. Your only objective being a hostile takeover of all the other corporations.

am i a minority here who thinks that not every story that involves market makes it about capitalism?
