Do you remember what video this was?
Yes.
The Outer Worlds
At the risk of sounding autistic: Not even 3 minutes in we get "So, the main thing is that the corporations have now taken and monetized *every* resource that they can get their hands on in space. Which, to be fair, is probably exactly what would happen if they were left unchecked. Looking at you and your space ride, Bezos. Anyways, the corporations began promising people that they too could be part of a new life out in the reaches of space if they signed on to their program while agreeing to spend 10 years in cryogenic sleep during transportation. I'm sure it will be explained where the government is in all of this, but for now, it seems like the corporations have all but taken control of everything they could possibly take control of."
Which is ambiguous because corporations != companies, and it is perfectly coherent to want to abolish corporations as a legal construct while having no problems whatsoever with private enterprise.
Not even 20 minutes in: "The side quests themselves range from decently-put-together fetch quests to pretty interesting stuff which fills you in on a lot of the world's finer details. Like I said, most people are kind of crazy in their own way, at least from the perspective of a normal human who got transported to this time and location. The heavy hand of the law and its seemingly endless list of rules and tedium affects pretty much every single facet of civilization here. People are overworked. The food that they can afford is disgustingly streamlined slop. The weapons and tools that Spacer's Choice manufactures are liable to malfunction and break down. The whole colony suffers if a single person commits a crime, including committing suicide. If someone does die, the whole town has to pay for what they would have been worth to Spacer's Choice. The common flu is referred to as 'the plague' and is a constant worry for everyone who thinks that it's impossible to survive without advanced care. The whole town is a mix of factories and machinery, junk piles and boxes, and cluttered homes and businesses. It's just an oppressive dystopia of corporate culture cranked to parody levels, so much so that the illogical on the surface decisions which these corporations make start to become something that I could see happening to a lesser degree with how a lot of the current world corporate climate is functioning in today's day and age."
Still straddling the line, "The heavy hand of the law and its seemingly endless list of rules and tedium affects pretty much every single facet of civilization here." reads more like an anti-state sentiment than a pro-state one.
Then, almost 2 hours in: "The solution was presented to them on a silver platter in the first couple hours in the game, but the message is that the corporations are so blinded by greed that they couldn't figure out the easiest way to save their colony. I just know that there's going to be a 'you don't get it, man, it's actually a brilliant satire of the politics revolving around corporate culture!' kind of comment, and I'm all for taking big companies down a peg. We just watched Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, and so on just start absorbing huge franchises with no repercussions. This kind of commentary is a good thing. But again, for as much as this game is supposed to take these goofy things that you hear about to their absolute extremes, I feel like this message would have been so much more impactful had they just brought a little bit more reality into the game rather than constantly having corporations trip over themselves as if they suddenly forgot to be successful after getting to this stage. It's aggravating because the pieces are all here for a thought-provoking, interesting, and bold message about corporate elitism."
This here, "I'm all for taking big companies down a peg."
That is unacceptable. At this point it's no longer beyond reasonable doubt that the dude is hostile towards market outcomes. Also "We just watched Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, and so on just start absorbing huge franchises with no repercussions."
Objective evidence of being against freedom because the dude was targeting not a specific subsidy or monopoly grant or regulatory privilege or other state distortion, but
bigness and successful expansion itself, with "repercussions" being desirable.
