in the beginning: look, i made a little track for my train to take people between cities. also look at this cute swarm of buses taking people everywhere~<3 later: the throughput on this track junction is not high enough and profit is 100k lower than expected. >:/
@witchfynder_finder@TipsyTentacle the way i think about it: you know how animals play-fight with each other for fun? where they only pretend to bite, but don't actually hurt their friend. games like this are like that, but for humans, and the pretend-violence is economic instead of directly physical. 🤔
@witchfynder_finder@TipsyTentacle hm... in a particularly well-made game, it would end up backfiring. w2b tycoon games where workers' revolution is a risk you have to keep in mind, to reign in greedy tendencies
@dn3s@TipsyTentacle SAME THOUGH! I feel like Minecraft is actually a really good and totally unintentional stealth-commentary on the exploitation of natural resources.

@TipsyTentacle I hate that video games secretly teach us to be capitalists tbh =\
