This was one of those games that, as a small child, I didn't really get much of the satirical elements behind it and I was just kind of vibing along with it. One of those things where it takes a tycoon game and uses it to explore themes of the evils of advertisement, marketing and spin, labour exploitation, industrial slaughter of cows to create food, environmental themes regarding global warming and climate change, and the intersection of all these elements to show the unsustainability and lack of ethics behind never-ending growth. This would be all well and good if the game was actually fun to play and didn't suck. Oligarchy, by the same developers, is much better than this.
