The idea of a "Prison Architect" series of games is just conceptually wild to me. I wonder if in a hundred years this will have the same ring to it that a game like "Slave Plantation Architect" would have today. Just remarkably crass and tasteless.
It's just a fun game. There are also games about war, does that mean they must not be fun?
I'm sure Rapelay was fun too.

Whether or not someone finds this or any other game fun is not something I really care about. Nor does it have anything to do with my observation.
They do try to show the problems inherent in the US prison system. That said, there is a similar game about building a cult compound, which is also fun.
That said, how is this worse than the whole slew of games about US soldiers killing people across the world, almost always portrayed as the cool protagonists?
Uh, it's not. Those are fucking terrible, too. Arguably worse. In fact, where did I say those were better?
