I'm a little apprehensive about the pitch: "... than any single human being should ever have?" When last I checked, there is no formal ceiling to monetary acquisition, nor is there any sensible rationale for introducing such a ceiling, nor even can one justifiably allege that, were sensible rationale enacted for the Greater Good, that we could make predictions about what such a ceiling would look like by which to measure the results of our Noble Enterprise. I did not wish to discuss the Game offhand as being simplistic or demoralizing, since I know that Our Medium enables us to simulate experiences which most people never have, and the function of most simulations is to create sympathy rather than to satirize, for which a simulation would be entirely unnecessary. As such, judging by the pitch alone, I must say that I'm not quite "sold" on the premise. It feels very symptomatic of this vague contempt and self-entitlement that people have about Wealth, which is honestly pretty old more than 200 years after Hegel. I would love to better understand how people live when they are either more fortunate or more successful than I am, because it enables me to experience their joy as my own, thereby feeling that I am part of a Greater Whole which is embodied in that Role Model. While the chosen subject has of course been criticized for avaricious policies, his business is responsible for sustaining both my physical and mental health, and I will always remember Amazon.com, primarily, as an unassuming Online Bookstore, for which I'm sure we can all agree that the niche demanded to be filled. I want to honour that legacy; perhaps that is why I would sooner read the numerous books I've had purchased online than to play your Game. [Shrugs.]

The way I see it, you're a really good troll or a really big idiot and whichever it is the scale is kind of impressive but in the worst way. This comment feels like that moment when I first heard about the big Tour de France pile up, and I didn't yet know whether the perpetrator has done it on purpose to make a statement or was just that thoughtless...but either way the sheer magnitude of the fuck up would've been praise worthy if it wasn't painful and embarrassing to even look at.
