I can think of some obvious examples to start with, but my subtle but insidious nominee is Fable III. Fittingly for a pretentious grifter like Molyneux, the game requires you to raise a specific amount of gold or your kingdom is destroyed and you get a bad ending. The goalposts are moved by the game if you raise money in ways it doesn't approve of, and it is simply impossible to reach the fundraising goal in any way that isn't at least Enlightened Centrist levels of evil, the kind that lanyard-wearing neoliberals giggle about. That's right, you need to be at least this evil or your kingdom is destroyed. So deep and really makes you think about the hard decisions that are made by the ruling class, doesn't it? :zizek:

    Doesn't it feel great to see neoliberalism conquer all and continue to corrode the planet and everyone that lives on it? :so-true:

        "Blue jeans and rock and roll" is a meme from the twentieth century about American cultural hegemony, particularly in the context of the cold war.

        That is insightful and I find myself agreeing with you. :zizek-ok:
