Whiny nerds who haven’t read a new book in over two decades shed tears over the fact their boring-ass game sucks and is getting swirlied in the toilet bowl by actual cool games
I find there’s a fine line with this. We could easily make the games not-fun by accurately balancing them into being capitalist. You can mod Skyrim to the point that a single mistake results in you becoming a drug addled destitute beggar but that’s only fun for some RP purposes and is NOT fun for basic gameplay overall after you’ve experienced its content once.
A substantial difference in Skyrim is that you’re still the dovakiin or however they spell it. There is plenty of reason for you to be able to escape destitution pretty easily, and my point wasn’t that it would be some sort of political statement but simply a more interesting sandbox.
