JPnew normalized signed floating point game review scale (-1.0 to 1.0) where 1.0 is "adds tremendous value to capitalist economies, prolonging their dominance" and -1.0 is "removes value from capitalist economies, hastening their demise". Fortnite is a 0.98785, Doom (1993) is a -0.26525. what's the closest to -1.0 we've gotten
(to be clear this is not a serious proposal, but you can decide that it's serious and live your life accordingly)

Josh Simmons@jplebreton hmm where does untitled goose game sit
🌈 Andrew ☄️@jplebreton Atari’s ET?
@jplebreton or Daikatana? but I don’t think they’re quite what you’re going for
140plots@jplebreton in the past few years, it's felt like I've seen more praxis associated with disco Elysium than anything else
ziggy@jplebreton Minesweeper and Solitaire?
jonoleth@jplebreton Snake... Tetris? Solitaire? Original Counter-Strike or DotA... Minecraft before Microsoft got a hold of it
Despite the initial payment, the mod scenes in Warcraft 3 and Half-Life 1 and 2 did keep a lot of people busy for years
posniewski@jplebreton Maybe NetHack? Or OpenTT?
@posniewski In certain households nethack rates negative <out of range>. Ahem.
Jonathan HendryProbably Chess or Go.
Phil Nelson@jplebreton You’ve doomed yourself forever with this, it’s too good
Max@jplebreton civ is a clear -1
That game series has drained every economy’s productivity so badly…

PG&E Delenda Est@jplebreton @mcc Kingdoms of Amalur removed a hell of a lot of value from the economy, just not in a way that was intended.
Tim Bray@jplebreton The Portal games are pretty anti-capitalist.
Max™@jplebreton dwarf fortress?
richconnergmn@jplebreton hmm... what about celeste
gkrnours@jplebreton this got me thinking, we could probably make a float type clamped to -1:1 with much more resolution. And I'm wondering if your examples have exact representation in float16
Eph@jplebreton honestly, I think #blaseball falls on that end of the scale. Ended because it never became profitable, worked to elect progressive to local city government, radicalized its players against capitalism and other assorted gods, and fostered community among groups traditionally marginalized by mainstream sports. One of its most notable outgrowths was an anarcho-communist queer music collective who would give you their music for free if you asked nicely.
John Cutting@ephesossh
Blaseball was the best. Still miss it.
C.@jplebreton the economic damage from multiple intelligence leaks by players of World of Tanks is likely in the billions, and also has the effect of leveling the military playing field in the info space. Given mil personnel of many nations seem to be playing it and leaking for clout still, suggests it's a time and money sink for them, bleeding defense funds from dozens of governments at once.
Despite the micro transactions supporting capitalism, the net damage probably puts it at at least -.5
@Beachhart lol, that's pretty cool
Doctor LURK@jplebreton maybe Tetris 🤔
Krystian Majewski@jplebreton Hmmm.. Duke Nukem Forever? Anthem? Mass Effect Andromeda?
Klaus Stein@jplebreton
I am not sure where to put the original unix wargames game (from the bsdgames collection) on this scale ;-)

Lawrence@jplebreton Garry's Mod?
The Homestuck Menopause@jplebreton Any live service game that folds in two months
