For months, players have been complaining about high rents in the city-building sim. This week, developer Colossal Order fixed the problem by doing something real cities can’t: removing landlords.
Because now it’s undeniable. Landlords are economic liabilities to cities. If the math and the simulation resolution are this high, it’s mathematically extremely unlikely that the influence of landlords is truly positive, and thus you can say “the simulations say you’re a financial leech and you won’t let your ledgers be scrutinized to prove them wrong, so clearly you know EXACTLY what you’re doing” when your landlord tries to fuck you over.
We all knew that already, and a game isn’t exactly a flawless simulation of the real world that they would accept anyway. Even if they agreed that they were a leech, they would still most likely stay landlords oir of selfishness.
Look, if I have to hear one more “you’re stupid because I disagree with your proposal” then I’m fucking done with the Fediverse. I was IMPLYING “tell your landlord that he’s an asshole and when he admits it, burn all his properties down” because CANADA LITERALLY HAS A HOUSING CRISIS.
Is “destroy houses to hurt landlords and then get arrested” reasonable? No. But until people start demanding free homes on penalty of death, we will never again have enough housing because NOT HAVING ENOUGH HOUSING IS TOO PROFITABLE.
So either start burning down your landlord’s houses, or fuck off, because people are literally homeless because of worthless pieces of shit like you.
How is it uplifting? This is a game, it would be uplifting if it was in real life

I am now blocking you. Go die.
