I've played 48 hours in one of the games in there, Traveller's Rest, about running a tavern. It has money, supply, employees, trends etc. But I'm not enjoying it because Yay Capitalism! It's because when you're running your own cute shop with virtual money it's fun. I do like the genre, but being reminded of the systems that are causing a lot of real world shit is just a bad title.

But I guess "Business Sim Sale" wasn't flashy enough.

Also, these games are not about failing, fear and hunger. Capitalism is.

It wouldn't be fun to play, if you'd have to grind 16h a day and be in danger of homelessness or starvation if you lose.

People play CoD all the time, but I'm sure a substantial percentage of the players would decidedly not enjoy bleeding out in an abandoned cottage.
