Glad I’m not the only one who had that response.
It’s just something worth an eye-roll and moving on. Capitalism has worked incredibly hard to make the average person think that “buying and selling” is actually capitalism, and “making profit” is automatically capitalism.
I was pretty shocked too when i saw it, especially that right below it the first game that showed for me was W&R: Soviet Republic (since i have it in the wishlist).
Of course it’s because economy = capitalism, even those feudalism, tribal and even hunter/gatherer simulators naturally, capitalism is just when getting things and exchanging them /s
Probably those company management/tycoon/profit min-maxing game. Played a few, does help radicalize a bit.
Just play OpenTTD if you really want to try this genre.
Wouldn’t expect anything different. Most libs don’t even know the difference between capatalism and socialism. Selling stuff is seen by them as capatalism. Most of them would be shocked to find out about the economy of China.
“Yeah, but they have an industrial economy, and my Economics 101 professor told me that a service economy is a higher stage of production.”
Good thing I brought Arkham Aslume, Outlast 2 and Alien: Isolation for holidays while shit like this is releasing…
Shoutout to Luck be a Landlord (on sale) for guillotine item to be used on billionaires.
Tbf a bunch of the discounted games are explicitly about “capitalism” (or use the name), so the naming makes sense.
