The Sofia Lamb bit is a retcon by hurt objectivists who thought the first game unfair.

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

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
