I was playing a little life sim game (Kynseed. It’s not bad)
I bought the town general store, and money just started rolling in. I didn’t really have to do anything. The staff I hired dealt with customers and stocked the shelves, but I was keeping all the profits. I actually felt kind of guilty about how brazenly but also thoughtlessly capitalist it is.
I felt less bad when I started bringing in rarer stuff to sell (because people need to buy monster parts and fish, I guess), but the default is just “I own this so I get money without work”
Anyway. It’s just a video game but it made me think
