Jesus christ guys, does it get more vapid than consumerism as revolt?
It's actually interesting.
If anything that Luigi touches basically becomes gold it's going to lead to some very interesting behavior from people who want to capitalize on it, but if they do it'll betray the narrative that's being pushed. Which company is gonna be shamelessly greedy enough to break the line?
And if they do how will the government and other companies react? At the very least there's conflicting interests happening. I'm very curious about how it'll play out.
Capitalism can commodify anything, even criticism of itself.
