#3An interesting "game", i failed but i knew it was rigged from the start, kind of like uber i guess, which i'm sure is the point they're trying to make.

I think they mean $1000/week, which makes more sense considering the character has two children. But who would get approved for a $4.3k/month mortgage on a single earner getting paid less than minimum wage?

#5That was a pretty tough game, I only beat out 17% of players. Loved the aesthetics too.
I think it did a good job of putting me in the driver's seat, forcing me to make some tough decisions.
But what happens after week 1? Do you go right back into the grind and work 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year? Brutal.

Somebody who loses his or her job after having got the mortgage could be in this situation.

#7Cool game. In conclusion, I'd be better off making minimum wage at McDonald's or similar. Same pay, less risk. Either way my house is going to be repossessed by the bank so I'm fucked.

#8I’m not quite sure Uber ever intended for their drivers to be able to own $900,000 homes (that’s about what a $4k mortgage would get you with 20% down). To me that smacks of a very rigged game with some sort of agenda behind it.

#9If taxi companies produced marketing material like this and promoted it in cities where they wanted to fight off Uber, they’d probably have a much easier time.
That was entertaining and sickening all at once.

You can see it as $1000 in total bills maybe.
