Except unlike the anti communist lists with pogroms and camps and famines, you include responses to communist offensive efforts on your list, such as the Korean War. At least try with this shit.
I've played this so many times that I think I've discovered another way to break the game! When the police catch you at the sewer, if you have under one million in wealth the game still gives you the option to spend one million to bribe the cops to set the barista free. This leads to you ending up with negative wealth and lots of amusing text when the cops set your bail at - 935,000 or something close to that. Will there be an update which adds another option to address this?
I really enjoyed this game, it puts a lot of points that I often try to make about wealth into perspective -- like just how much the world could be improved if the upper class did literally anything. It's delivered in a kind of offhand style that keeps it just lighthearted enough to (hopefully) help educate players on how the current economic system is flawed. I feel kinda silly writing a serious review for a twine game about Jeff Bezos but. such is life.
Hey ! Once I get into Elon Musk's car and talk to him during 9 minutes, shouldn't I get back at least 500.000$ ? Actually, I should have had this additional money every 9 minutes I spent in Jeff Bezos' life !
Hello Jeff Bezos, i am french, i eon't know if you will this message but i Hope. I have idea for the wildlife, buy a hectares in all the earth, and make sur that you make them unsuitable, and the hectares stay wild and the animals on this hectares will can continued live ans live porotected.
yeah, dont you know it's only illegal to espouse your opinion if you ARE a conservative that believes in things like individual rights and freedoms.
Violence and hate are fine as long as you hate the right groups of people am I right! Go antifa! Let's start another wandering mob and burn down some peoples businesses and beat random people to death in the street!!!
How is it that most people immigrate illegally per logistics, and what is their crime rate compared to citizens, and what do they asymmetrically contribute to taxes?
Are you aware the differences between the DHS and ICE, their separate founding dates and impacts? Also, do you think stealing children and deporting their parents is ethical or humane?
I'm not attacking, I'm asking questions to foster intellectual honesty, so please answer as such.
Actually, Trump has been the one trying to fix that (children being separated), but nobody wants to admit that he's doing something good even by their standards. Also, ICE is a part of DHS, so I'm not sure what you're really trying to get at
Not really sure what you're saying in the first sentence either, but technically all illegal immigrants commit crimes, so their crime rate is 100%, if that's what you're talking about.
Ok first of all, I'm not wrong about criminal illegal immigrants. They're criminals because they ILLEGALLY entered the country. Meaning they broke the law. Making them criminals. Also, you directed me to a post about immigrants in general.
Wow what a take, "this class of people are illegal because we've arbitrarily decided to make it that way even though up until the 90's it wasn't actually a crime."
If we don't factor in that semantic bullshit, immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes (because, y'know, they have a lot more to lose for even minor offenses no one cares about). If they weren't being persecuted, they might do things like join unions and demand higher wages. The persecution of immigrants is kind of why pay sucks for some jobs, because businesses can exploit those workers and threaten to turn them in if they complain.
It's almost as if companies who are paying undocumented immigrants below minimum wage are manufacturing a situation to make the lives of their workers hell so that they can keep their wages low. It's almost as though your own life, personally, would be improved if we didn't spend an absurd amount of resources putting migrants into labor camps and instead reformed our immigration policy so that these people could legally exist in the US and have a path to citizenship.
Of course, you better not have smoked any fucking pot or broken any laws yourself if you're going to be calling people criminals for trying to work for a living.
And for the other article, I guess I was wrong, that's it. I heard somewhere Trump was fixing that problem (which I think Obama put into place, again, not sure since I don't keep up with politics enough) But I do think Trumps right that illegal immigrant families can use children to sort of cheat the system. I think there was another way to do that but I forget. Personally I just think we should send the whole family back where they came from, with this new law in place it'll be the immigrant's fault for crossing illegally. They knew the risks and decided to take them
Without any undue hostility, I would encourage you to look up the facts, all of them, from both favorable and hostile sources, and then make up your own, enlightened opinion.
It's just lazy political propaganda, communist and many leftist in general view art as an ideological weapon. To them it's only use is to convey ideas while disgracing their opposition. It's the same reason they love ruining peoples career over a joke. What's ironic is thinking like that makes it impossible to make art. We have a name for "Art" that serves no purpose but to push an ideology that's just called propaganda.
It's not making fun of people on the ground levels. It's highlighting how rich people don't give a shit. Just because the bootlicker section of the more broadly reasonable conservative street crew get their boxers in a twist when someone makes fun of someone who has more money than all the voters combined, doesn't mean it's left vs right. It's a class war. Sorry.
You try again, and next time stop using liberal based news sources. there is your problem, and you are part of the problem. You are an NPC and you never reason with people on the other side of the political spectrum unless they are part of the mob. You rather want violence to control the masses than to have a debate. You are a nasty person and an evil man. And you better part praying because when you die, you will be judged for your crimes of abortion, slavery, because you vote democrat and violence through death. the KKK uses violence to intimidate us. I will NOT COMPLY TO YOUR DEMANDS!!!!!
Daily reminder that communists eat their own in assorted political purges once power is claimed. Eat the rich if you will, but ask who they will eat next.
This is super super excellent, I put $10 towards you amassing a fortune as enormous as Jeff Bezos's, however I would also like to reserve the rights to make a videogame where people have to spend all your money
This is a truly amazing, inspring project. I don't think I've ever felt closer to being able to comprehend the impossible amounts of wealth of these monstorous people. A new favourite game of mine.
it is almost not possible to become rich through ethical means and hoarding wealth instead of using it to help people who need it is morally indefensible
if you’ll reread my reply you will notice the inclusion of the word ‘almost’. instead of making inane, tedious nitpicks in a feeble attempt to score points for your team, try to actually engage with ideas openly and understand what people are trying to say
my only and largest criticism with this game is that i cannot buy the assassins out so that they will also kill me, jeff bezos, at the end of the game, ending my, jeff bezos', reign of terror

This is wonderfully written + it displays in a few minutes how much capitalism sucks.
At least it's not as bad as socialism or communism
Dude it's been months
Time does not change accuracy of statement. Capitilasm is not without problems but it sure does have a WAY lower death toll
Except unlike the anti communist lists with pogroms and camps and famines, you include responses to communist offensive efforts on your list, such as the Korean War. At least try with this shit.
Yes, people die.But murica bad am i right?I dare you to post a parody of this in China, Venezuela, or any other country that is your dream-land.
lmao captalists are like: "communism BAD, CAPTALISM GOOD"
when millions of people die around the world due to imperialist ambitions and corporate greed
Propaganda to call "No people will not work to their best without something to gain" (i.e. "human nature") propaganda. Nice lack of self awareness.
Are the secret endings working? I've done everything I can think of and can't get anything outside of the base 3.
Try to get your money to zero before reaching the coffee shop! That's the only hint I can give, sorry. Good luck!
Still can't seem to figure it out. I get to $5,800,000,000 and then anything I spend is small fries in comparison.
Do I have to make money first and then lose it?
You do not need to earn money to unlock the secret endings.
Ah, okay, I figured it out. Took a while of understanding how to finagle the system to let me delete Twitter. =)
Ooh, congrats!!
I've played this so many times that I think I've discovered another way to break the game!

Thanks for letting me know! I'll patch this in the next update.
This game was fucking awesome. Absolutely loved it. Pleeeeaase make an Elon Musk sequel!

What did I just play
Lazy political propaganda
exactly
i dont get it
Sequel please? if you aren't too busy spending all the money!
Hello Jeff Bezos, i am french, i eon't know if you will this message but i Hope. I have idea for the wildlife, buy a hectares in all the earth, and make sur that you make them unsuitable, and the hectares stay wild and the animals on this hectares will can continued live ans live porotected.
"Any leftover funds are put toward dismantling ICE"
Oh yeah, because enforcing legal immigration is so horrible, who needs to make sure people follow the law.
Honestly this game is just someone making fun of the right wing and disguising it as a "game"
I'm sorry, was it not politically correct enough for you
Yeah, how could they say something so politically incorrect, don't they know it's illegal to speak their opinions
Yawn
yeah, dont you know it's only illegal to espouse your opinion if you ARE a conservative that believes in things like individual rights and freedoms.
Violence and hate are fine as long as you hate the right groups of people am I right! Go antifa! Let's start another wandering mob and burn down some peoples businesses and beat random people to death in the street!!!
Sir, how could you denigrate ICE, the make-work organization for dudes whose necks were too thick to fit into a police officer's uniform?
Wow actually never heard of the word denigrate till now. Still not sure what on earth this post means
r u dumb
No I'm just not sure what you're talking about in the previous post
That was not me who called you dumb, I'm the original guy you were replying to.
I was suggesting that ICE is an organization that exists to provide jobs for angry large dudes who couldn't manage to become police officers.
How is it that most people immigrate illegally per logistics, and what is their crime rate compared to citizens, and what do they asymmetrically contribute to taxes?

Whoops, didn't think I was talking to the cult. I'll pass on the koolaid thanks. Take it easy there buddy. Get some help.
How much money has Jeff Bezos earned while I sat playing this game?
The Citizen Kane of videogames. Better yet, the Mario Kart 64 of cinematographic arts
true ending first run.
i.. am speechless..
:)
Another game, a bit more theoretical, but with graphics:
https://colestia.itch.io/postcapitalism
Good game, reminder to rise up comrades
I am also fond of starving to death fellow conrad
Daily reminder that communists eat their own in assorted political purges once power is claimed. Eat the rich if you will, but ask who they will eat next.
It's true, having five money is four evil
this guy knows what's up
this is accurate actually
Elon Musk doesn't even fit this graph, that's what makes him special :)
I love this! Here's an excellent companion piece courtesy of the Onion: https://www.theonion.com/you-are-all-inside-amazon-s-second-headquarters-jeff-18...

DEAL

A new favourite game of mine.
GOTY 2018!
Where's the start a socialist revolution option?
Being rich isn't bad.
yes it is
Why
it is almost not possible to become rich through ethical means and hoarding wealth instead of using it to help people who need it is morally indefensible
Morality is subjective, no?
hey, congrats on taking a philosophy 101 class! consider this: the subjective nature of morality does not make moral judgments invalid
A nobel peace prize is worth 1.5 million dollars. Though I'm sure they had to do some shady stuff to get it, am I right fellow socialists!
if you’ll reread my reply you will notice the inclusion of the word ‘almost’. instead of making inane, tedious nitpicks in a feeble attempt to score points for your team, try to actually engage with ideas openly and understand what people are trying to say
This guy knows whats up
People often defend the rich because they want to believe they themselves will be rich someday. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but,
Absolutly amazing. Make this into an app and make it free on the Amazon App store.
And continue the story! Let's make billionaires extinct!
This is such a good idea omg
it's an addictive game!
You may have missed the point.
I like the way this guy thinks
Fuck yeah a boat
this is so good
This was beautiful. I love it.
Fantastic. Play this right now.
I love this. I got the neutral ending with Elon.
I got the true ending. I am Elon.
I got the bad ending.
AMAZING
my only and largest criticism with this game is that i cannot buy the assassins out so that they will also kill me, jeff bezos, at the end of the game, ending my, jeff bezos', reign of terror
this is such a good game!! fun, clever, and super satisfying...wish it was more than just a fantasy lmao!!
