This feels very “just found out about politics and damn” tbh.
The game isn’t really teaching anything of note beyond “private entities have their own interests,” which anyone who would even find this compelling already knows.

Ok.
I think this would be of value for sharing with people that aren’t aware (my kid when she was younger).
Or is there a better resource to do this?
if you want something on media , censorship, spin, ect? I’d say Not for Broadcast is pretty good.
Most people seem to “never have found out about politics” yet seeing how they consume all newspaper content without critical thinking.
Everyone consumes whatever they agree with with less critical thinking, it’s an absolutely normal bias to have and nobody is immune.
That’s why when you hear someone say “I do my own research” you don’t think “this person must be highly educated” but rather “this person listens to ‘alternative’ media.”
Just because you consume a different kind of propaganda, doesn’t make you wiser, it makes you have a different set of biases.
It’s also important to remember that being aware of the psychological effects of something does not make you immune to those effects, or even consistently lessen them in a measurable way.
Placebo works even when the subject knows it’s a placebo.
Politics shouldn’t be in games. I miss the good old days of games just being games like cod or command and conquer or mgs.
