I unexpectantly liked the Mcdonald’s game even though I failed multiple times. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, I thought it would be like a food simulator or tycoon but it was kinda dark. I mean from growing cows and killing them, to overlooking a restaurant and even being in a corporate office. At one point while when I went to my cow field, they were just dead, bones all over the ground and I could no longer use that land. Then my employees wanted to go on strike and have to promote them to keep them happy. Also in the corporate office, there were options to bribe nutritionists, and politicians and so many shady options. I could definitely tell that this game wasn’t supposed to persuade you to get Mcdonald’s but to not eat it. Another game we played was monopoly but the rules were changed for every player. I played as the blue-collar white male, they had females, minorities, and the 1%. It was really interesting how much it changed the game and really brought to light many issues we face with inequality.
