I mean if you ignore all the horrible slaughter and collapse, for a while it did look pretty nice!

Bioshock is one of my favorite things so I'm happy that libertarians constantly try to make it real life.

Bioshock's problem is that they still used fiat and no one hodled

The libertarians modeled it after bioshock chiefly because they wanted a bunch of little sisters, but not as siblings

I've always been surprised Bioshock never attracted much controversy despite the fact that it has a mechanic that rewards you for eating children.

States are rolling back child labor laws IRL.

Why would fictional child sacrifice be controversial?

Exploration is ill-advised.
Mostly it gets blamed for popularising the binary moral choice poo poo that was in so many games for a while. Though it came out a few years before the 'depiction = endorsement' narratives got started.

I don't know why it should get blamed for that when it was a full four years after KOTOR gave you the option to turn your entire party on itself

Did people call it out at the time? I think that's just sorta later since many more games started doing it, people started looking back and that became the go to early example. At the time I think it was mostly still considered an innovative game-play choice.

Edit: And it's pretty easy to give it a pass for that, sorta like how Halloween had a quite a few lovely slasher film tropes in it, but like it made those tropes, and also did them well so you know, best not to blame it from what it inspired, I guess. :shrug:

That was already a thing when Bioshock came out - Bioshock was kind of sending that up. I mean what is, as the PYF thread was subtitled for a bit, "an acceptable amount of child murder"?

Also the rewards for not killing children are actually better.

The wack part is seraph doesn't even have any Bitcoins, it's a mental breakdown because he feels he missed his chance. It's why he's terrified to post his wallet.

I was going to post a charity’s address and tell Seraph to send the coins “to me” for wallet inspection, but not that many charities accept Bitcoin and the ones that do do stuff like “use this app” or “we’ll generate a single‐use address just for you when you fill out this form”.
