is there game that encourages people to steal from billionaire

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hitman has you killing billionaires and militia leaders.

If you want something crusty, brutal and nihilistic, try Cruelty Squad. In that game, everyone is evil, morality is dead, death is only temporary and money rules everything. So go gas a cruise ship to get a single target and don't feel bad for the other passengers who got liquified in the process, they were probably running crypto scams or diddling kids. Just harvest whatever organs are left and sell 'em for cash. You are a flesh automaton animated by neurotransmitters.

If you want pure thievery, try the Thief series. The original games, not the new one.

What about Cyberpunk 2077? Can you climb up the megacorp's buildings and blast the CEOs?

[–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately not as much as you would like. There's plenty of chances to blast corpo rats, but CEOs and whatnot? Nah. Ironically, in many endings, you accidentally reinforce the issues as people take advantage of your actions for power plays.

Yep, it tries to do the whole anticapitalist thing, but also not being a leftist power fantasy. It's still possible to walk away with an extremely liberal message of "unchecked Capitalism bad, but checked capitalism good." Still a good game, though.

Watch Dogs series (sorta)

But I like the idea. Would make a good RPG scenario.
