I think it happened in another post <| sep |> The idea is great but horribly carried out . In Train Fever it became infamous , and with the developer being who they are I ' ve no doubt it ' s the same issue suited and booted . The economy itself is a bad one . Almost as bad as the AI . And memory leaks . And player communication . And how bloody easy it is ! <| sep |> Exactly . And if there were memories we ' d remember , right ? <| sep |> The rules establish a secure baseline of what can and can ' t happen so that there isn ' t any unfair exploitation by the GM or players that affect other people in the game . If your group doesn ' t mind being fast and loose with the rules , though , I don ' t see the problem there . It ' s just important to some people that everyone has a level playing field and the GM won ' t override your fun by forcing his own vision of what happens on your party if things don ' t go the way he planned his narrative . But yeah , play how your party wants to play .
