Fair enough. Never played Shadowrun, and didn’t know there were dragons in that system.
I would be curious what year it is set in, and how inflation may affect their currency value vs current real world currency values.

Billionaires are greedier than dragons. The richest greediest dragon in all of fiction is Smaug, and he has an obscene amount of wealth. I’ve seen estimates of his wealth ranging from 5 billion dollars of gold on the low end, all the way up to 15-20 billion dollars of gold on the high end.
However, Smaug is an incredible outlier. He’s basically the Musk of Dragons. The absolute most gold you’ll find on a dragon in any video game or ttrpg is 5 million gold pieces. That’s only if RNGesus smiles on you, and rolls as high as it could. The average is more like 3.5 million gold pieces of wealth.
1 gold piece = ⅒oz of gold. So we are looking at 350,000 - 500,000 oz of gold for the upper 50% of all red elder worms. Any other dragon type doesn’t hoard that much.
That comes out to a real world value of between $800,000,000 to $1,200,000,000. That’s for the richest dragons out there.
Most dragons aren’t billionaires.
Therefore, billionaires are literally greedier than the anthropomorphic caricaturization of greed from legend, namely dragons. The greediest fictional thing we could come up with isn’t greedy enough to accurately portray these people’s mental illnesses.
Not gonna roast you or downvote you, as that does seem to be a use case. Just not one that would work for me, since I replay games frequently.
Honestly the last Ubisoft title I think I played was AC: Black Flag, and that was cause, pirates.

Please read that, and help your understanding of what Capitalism is, and is not. It’s rather short, only takes a few hours to read, but comprehension may take some time pondering.
Gaben made a deal with the devil, $10,000,000 for every pound lost! That’s the real story here!
Interesting to see how manufactured outrage manifested so easily so long ago. Should share some light on the manufactured consent that is so prevalent today.
Tropico meets Cities Skylines?
Gotcha, thanks.
Shovelware? That’s a new term for me… Is that what they call the games made in Roblox and the like?
There’s a company in Los Angeles that will convert any ICE into an EV. Those are likely to be dumb EVs if you want the option now.
Warzone 2100 did the RPG elements as much as was needed in a RTS. Sure individual units gained XP,.and they carried over from one mission to the next. You could also recycle units to upgrade their chassis. That was it. You could also just churn out basic troops and just throw away armies if you wanted.
Yeah, but I don’t remember an ad in them
Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or Both?
The last video game that had ads included that I played was Yo! Noid, or Chex Quest

This is how they solved it for the OG Gameboy
You can have Coco Chanel. I’m taking Hugo Boss. The Nazis did NOT deserve to have that stylish of uniforms.
It’s well known that Epic and Blizzard hired psychologists specifically to make their games more addictive. I would be very surprised to find out that Microsoft and Sony didn’t.
Screw Hitler. If I invent a time machine, Jack Welch will get a tommy gun to the back of the head before he can lay off one worker, or gut a single workers protection.
Edit: autocorrect got me
You have to be willfully ignorant
At this point I’m convinced that MBA classes are really just training willful ignorance, in favor of “line go up” strategies.
He took it down because he felt it was too addictive. He made $50,000 the day before he took it down, so he was choosing morals over money.
