Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock

Now, disregarding the whole ethical thing, the reason why Rapture Fell was because there was a very big divide beetween the workers and the people. (Also because Plasmids were not regulated and the poor became addicted)

And since there was no social housing and stuff, they Protested, and then joined Sofia Lamb, who was appealing to them

So, its more of a mix of the people going insane without ethical restrictions, the consumers going insane because of addiction, and a bunch of people dying because of protests by the workers

The Sofia Lamb bit is a retcon by hurt objectivists who thought the first game unfair. So, they retconned it to be not their fault. It was, instead, the dirty socialists fault.

Anyways, Rapture fell because unfettered business interests always end up at massive inequality. This was made worse by magic addictive powers and a complete lack of ethics. Plus, being at the bottom of the ocean meant you couldn’t just ship in a new lower class to ease tensions.

I’m surprised some egomaniacal billionaire didn’t start flooding areas if people couldn’t pay him to not to.

  I can see that, I was just playing BioShock 2, and in the Hotel section, there was just this Audiolog with 2 people, one of whom was supplying the other with raw supplies, the other manifacturing Adam Syringes out of it, and selling it to the same guy who then sells it to Ryan industries, monologing about „how big of a fool the other was, because they make so much Profits”, essentially retconning all of Capitalism in BioShock.
  
  Which first of all wouldn’t even work, because they have a fucking Monopoly at that point and can raise prices all they want
  
  And second just goes back to „Why the fuck would they Vote for Lamb, if they weren’t oppressed? Lamb addressed Problems in rapture that didn’t even exist according to BioShock 2

  I always like to add it to my head cannon that when Rapture started leaking, the billionaires just started demanding money for the big Daddies and all the repairs

    I don't think Ryan produced Plasmids, that was how Fontaine became a faction leader.
