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.

You can run a private business without engaging in capitalist exploitation. That's something a lot of people would probably find enjoyable.

As fun as that is, I love a game that starts out innocent fun then slowly reveals as you progress that you were always a monster, the only difference is now it's starting to impact the world in a way that you can't ignore anymore. It's up to you when you want to stop.
