I find it funny how the ethical side of those games is always conveniently ignored...

Ethics reduce profit, thus they are ignored when there is no regulator or law enforcing them.

Capitalism does lend itself well to technical innovation, which is beautiful but not ethical. And with that beauty comes technical debt in it’s cultural form: decadence.

The societal accomplishments of capitalism are effectively distraction and insulation from the side effects of complexity.
