It is surprising that the article mentions Karl Marx, but not Henry George, whose ideas were the main inspiration for The Landlord’s Game.

- palmfacehn 3y agoNo more surprising than the obligatory references to identity politics. The game was created as a Georgist political/economic screed. Some might even call the simulated in-game economy a straw-man. The article is par for a pop culture econ polemic. Nothing exceptional, nothing we haven't been browbeaten with before.
