Ehhh I thought it was fun for the 1 minute I played it while pooping. That’s about all it’s worth anyway. A meme game. Are people really thinking they’ll make money of it?

Certainly not all, but there is a larger "theme" among many posts like this online. I'm blaming the Tyranny of Meritocracy and amplified (mis)incentives social media creates.

The Tyranny of Meritocracy - Michael Sandel is a book I'm buying this weekend after watching a couple of his lectures / interviews. There are good and important perspectives therein.
