Firstly, I would like to say that I believe the author to be an expert in political theory. In no game before have I found such subliminal clues into the true nature of how we operate as a society. Needy Greedy Pirates in its most basic form is a testament to the failures of socialism. In this game, the wealthier you become, the more socialists (represented by the pirate thieves) try to steal your treasure (Hard earned income). The pirates will attempt to steal the treasure and return it to the public market(They keep it for themselves). If you do not allow the pirates to take what they want, they will attempt to seize it by force. The game beautifully demonstrates the futility of hard work in a system that is designed to reward the player for doing nothing. Trying to help yourself will ultimately lead to your death and the collapse of the market every time. It's pleasing to see a game that is just as pretty on the inside as it is on its outside. These hidden messages are just as thought provoking as they are inspiring and they will challenge the way you think of our whole economic system. 5/5
