Communists shaking and crying right now.
Capitalism is a very common/popular tag for games on Steam. Of course, it's a fantasy version of capitalism where you can actually get ahead.
Being fair, capitalism works great in games. The system necessarily determines a winner, there are no externalities inside of a video game, and the people whose labor you're profiting from are NPCs.
This is true for board games as well. The classic example being Monopoly.
