I always like such &quot;meta&quot; things. However it's just too challenging. I played 8 times and bankrupted 8 times.

I wish I could take $50k loans that only need to repay $40k (assuming that's a bug, since it says $25k loan). With my money-making loan machine, I was able to buy out all the game industry and become a monopoly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Doesn't seem villainous so much as capitalistic. =]"},{"author_name":"aeveis","author_uid":"8854","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 6:46am","epoch":1355726460,"text":"yeah, I used the loan exploit\/bug too to buy out everything.

Am I doing it right?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In all seriousness, it is a pretty interesting idea with some fun details put in.
