Video games and liberty / ancap.
Anyone here play video games in a way that intersects with libertarian, anarchist, capitalist principles? Games with that theme? Extreme freedom?
I’ve been playing Cities Skylines, which made me think about it. I had a thought to create a “libertarian paradise” but it would be difficult. I could reduce tax rates to 1% or nothing, but this would just result in no income with which to manage the city.
Essentially, everything is driven by the player. So people will move into an area once you zone it for residential or commercial, but beyond that, there’s no real “will of individual people”.
On the other hand, there’s no real government corruption (because you are the government), and there’s no funding or draft to suck up economy by sending people to war, or creating a war economy.
Any other thoughts about video games and freedom are welcome. Thanks.
