Ironic. They did what they are there to protect against. Fucking up everyone's shit
Maybe centralizing everything onto one company's shoulders wasn't such a great idea after all...
Wait, monopolies are bad? This is the first I've ever heard of this concept. So much so that I actually coined the term "monopoly" just now to describe it.
Someone should invent a game, that while playing demonstrates how much monopolies suck for everyone involved (except the monopolist)
And make it so you lose friends and family over the course of the 4+ hour game. Also make a thimble to fight over, that would be dope.
Get your filthy fucking paws off my thimble!
I'm sure a game that's so on the nose with its message could never become a commercialised marketing gimmick that perversely promotes existing monopolies. Capitalists wouldn't dare.
