Why pay for the border wall if you can't build it? I really hate games that don't offer players agency.

This game has you play as someone who wants to use Jeff Bezos' body to spend all his money. It includes lots of commentary about how unreliable the expense calculations are. I don't think getting your money's worth is the point.

"Peter Thiel is there to personally present you with the check."

Fun game, got the neutral ending myself.

I kind of felt like it was a game where no matter what you did the outcome’d be the same but apparently not since there is a “neutral” ending I’d assume there is a bad and good ending as well.

Also I know this is a hyperbolic game but “You also tip well, because labor should be adequately compensated regardless of whether a service worker goes the extra mile for you” is some disgusting nonsense that seems unfitting since the narrative is coming from a hyperbolic socialist and not a capitalist but tipping culture is something inherently capitalistic and also a disgusting way to make the customer feel responsible because the employee isn’t being paid enough.

I found it brilliantly tongue-in-cheek! So many useful things could be done by a single multibillionaire, yet there are several of them in the world…

Perhaps its better they just spend their money on expensive yachts. We've got one who has a good chance of eliminating polio and another 3 who together have a good chance of destroying democracy in America.
