"Sure, sure. It's also true that no billionaire just sits on a giant pile of cash; most of Bezos' wealth is abstracted into stocks, investments, and so forth.

But that's not the scope of this simulation. This simulation is about spending all of Jeff Bezos' fucking money."


you sure you played this game

You know the game itself recognizes that he doesn't have just a stack of money to spend right. Yes its unrealistic, but so is waking up in the body of some dumb rich fuck.

(+8)(-1)

"yeah i did" "no i didn't"

okay

(+33)(-3)

This comment is hilarious! It seems pretty clear you didn't even try NOT to spend Jeff Bezos' money, because the game itself makes this point if you do.

Everything is clearer now

At least now we know what Jeff Bezos Itch.io account name is!

You know what, I agree. This entire game is leftist bullshit. And I'm not even a conservative.

(+7)(-82)

Awesome game, just don't like you insulting our dank lord Elon Musk.

(+18)(-3)

If this is serious, all of the issues with Jeff Bezos also exist with Elon Musk. Musk also supported a coup for lithium and got his start because his family exploited workers under apartheid. I know the image Musk has built around himself is appealing and funny, but he still is hugely harmful. 

(+2)(-16)

don't agree with him on many things yet believe he is the next Tesla (the scientists)

(+8)(-3)

I don't think he's nearly as impactful. He hasn't invented that much on his own.

(+2)(-9)

He did start the first successful private space company and took over Tesla to make it the first electric car company that could compete with car manufacturing giants such as Ford. He  has made other car companies start to make the change to electric by challenging them and did help America lunch the first rocket to the international space station with American astronauts and on American land. Not to mention re-kindling the publics' desire for space explorations. 

(+7)(-3)

None of those are really inventions like Tesla made, I frankly think the privatization of space is a bad thing, Teslas are actually not environmentally friendly, and I think all of the space stuff could have been accomplished without him if NASA was given sufficient funding.

(+2)

musk hasn't invented shit. tesla would drop kick his ass into another dimension

(+5)(-79)

I do not like this because it is dumb.

(+21)(-5)

thats the point mate

kill the rich

(+29)(-2)

i hate this. thank you.

(+26)

"You are Elon Musk."

(+6)

Got all 6 endings loved them

(+8)

that... that was actually more fun than I expected it to be. Not that I expected it to not be fun, I expected it to be fun but I didn't expect to still be smiling 10 minutes afterwards.

(+14)

Is there a way to attempt to buy the Presidency?

(+8)

Does buying twitter and banning trump count?

(+6)

This...is amazing.

(+2)

does anybody know how many endings there are?

(+1)

There are six endings!

thanks

(+13)(-1)

The true ending... Dear god, what did I do to deserve this!

(+6)(-1)

This is so funny! I've got all the main endings; now to figure out the secret ones...

(+2)(-2)

There's parts that are really funny, parts that are kind of cringey, overall pretty okay!

(+4)(-1)

This was so fun!!! I got the True End. I love the idea that there are different ones; I want to replay soon and see what else I can get.

(+4)(-1)

hell yeah. this was amazing in every way. 

(+17)(-1)

This comment section makes me wanna uninstall my ability to read. Can anyone help with that?

(+5)

Usually reading youtube comments helps.

(+5)(-47)

boring as hell, why the fucks this tagged horror even that game about carrots is scarier than this. in conclusion, wasn't funny didn't laugh

(+18)(-3)

you clearly have no use for the concept of money, thats great !

(-1)

The point of the game is to show (in a humorous and hyperbolic way) the absolute horror that is rich people hoarding wealth. It definitely inspired some dread in me.

(+6)(-2)

top tier ngl

This was extremely cathartic. Enjoy prison, ******!

(+3)(-39)

oh shut the fuck up, you stupid brainwashed nut.

(+2)(-2)

Me? ME! ME JEFF BEZO$!?! ME?

(+17)(-2)

I don't usually comment but this is one of the best games I've played yet. Think of all the good for the world you could do as a billionaire, man. 

(+2)(-3)

Such a fun game! I really really enjoyed playing it! Here is the gameplay of it! I hope you all enjoy it! 

(+7)

I went sleuthing through the code and then actually sat down with pen and paper and did math to figure out how to get to the secret endings. Look what you've made me do! Ugh.

But I spent Bezos' money in a lot of different ways, and I had a blast doing it. Kudos, comrade.

(+5)(-1)

any chance you could use your powers of math to give the rest of us hints on finding the secret endings? I'm caught in a true-ending loop.

(+10)(-1)

I'm afraid I don't remember the details now -- but it involves getting your money  *exactly* to zero before you're supposed to be able to. Once you figure out the choices that get you close and the choices that make that impossible (i.e. earning interest while talking to your family), it's just a bit of playing around with the numbers and working on the problem backwards until you get there. Once you do, the secret endings all branch off from that point.

I went digging through the code and found an early "if money = $0" flag that tipped me off to this -- never would have figured it out, otherwise.

(+3)(-1)

that's super helpful! thanks!

(+1)

super epic

(+8)(-35)

Has a good message and I agree with it at some points, but sometimes the humor just comes off as "im mad cause people are richer than me."

(+35)(-8)

shut up jeff bezos

(+26)(-10)

people who think socialists are jealous of rich people really have a fundamentally flawed idea of who socialists are and what socialism is.

this is a projection of your own aspirations for wealth and your jealousy. actual socialists are uninterested in the wealthy lifestyle and believe this absurd decadence is beyond immoral, it's not sustainable.

you'll never see mars get colonized, but you might see the earth get re-colonized after a mass extinction event caused by climate catastrophe. this is Musk's actual plan.

the revolution is coming

(+21)(-3)

No, this game is meant to make a point. Billionaires could do so much good with their wealth. Nobody should be drowning in more money than theyd ever need in a lifetime while there are people starving and homeless

(+7)(-2)

I usually don't reply to dead posts, but when I do it's to point out the hypocrisy of defending Stalin and socialism at the same time.

(+6)(-30)

Overall amusing and I agree with the general principal but a lot of it comes off as unfunny and petulant anger.

(+16)(-8)

imagine being objectively wrong

Deleted 1 year ago
(+9)(-2)

"petulant" and "anger" were definitely NOT  themes that came to mind when I was playing

(+24)(-1)

I can't believe it. I just ended US homelessness, funded 100k teachers for 4 years, paid personal taxes, doubled every Amazon employees pay, funded 10k artists for 4 years, funded NASA for a year, abolished the electoral college, paid EU taxes, fixed the Flint Water Crisis, funded 10 animal rescues for 4 years, built 10 libraries, paid off 1k student loans, funded 100 indie games, paid bail for everyone in the city jail system...

And I still had $16.6B left over.

seventy twenty fifteen point eight fifty two hundred

(+1)(-1)

got the bad ending first try LOL

(+6)(-1)

easy true end

(1 edit) (+2)(-56)

someones is salty.....Can you elaborate why he is bad?

(+17)(-1)

"salty".... because he could be saving lives with minimal effort and he chooses not to, to no real benefit to himself.

remember why people didn't like scar from lion king during the stampede scene?

(+11)(-1)

This game is hilarious good job

(+3)(-2)

Silly game, well made, but honestly could not think of anything but this video while playing it:

(+1)(-1)

Cool video. The game admits at several points that it is an unrealistic thought experiment. I think this video adds value into discussion and doesn't devaluate the game.

(-1)

Yeah, for sure :) 

(+6)(-2)

This video is kinda trash. Obviously Bezos can't liquidate all of his assets immediately, but that doesn't make his wealth fake.

He has incredible power and could liquidate billions of dollars a year without devaluing his assets. There are also massive social opportunity costs in the things he does invest in (spaceships, twitter, venture capital). He could invest for a return in food poverty, poverty (through education loans, if necessary), etc.

Video also overlooks the economic liberal perspective on way billionaires are shit. They are a rentier, exploiting their ridiculous market position to levy rents that others cannot.

A game about waking up inside a different peoples bodies with a talking hedgehog is not very realistic? Oh no, that's crazy!!

I criticised the Forbes video, not the game.

(+3)(-1)

Love this so much.
