Another time waster!
14 years ago
I'm not usually one to play minigames or browser-based distractions, but I heard about this little gem and it caught my eye, so I gave it a try.
It's called "Sweatshop", and it puts you in the shoes of an assembly line manager in a nondescript factory that manufactures cheaply made designer apparel that sells for 80 or 90 times its worth in store. You get to make hiring decisions to try and balance cost, efficiency, and quality.
This starts off easy, but you'll soon understand that there are worse jobs out there than yours!
Unless you don't have a job, in which case you'll discover that there are some jobs that are worse than being unemployed, or even dead.

Almost sounds like a propaganda game. Are both sides of the argument considered or is it heavily one-sided?

Oh, it's pretty one-sided, but whatever your politics are it's still an engrossing and often funny game.

Meh. Games that make me think excessively aren't on my way. I play gams to relax and have fun.
