McVideogame
I don't know if anyone else did or not but I took the time and went through the tutorial and before I even started the game I just felt absolutely horrible the more and more I read. The game fools you with its bright colors and cartoon-like characters but when you start reading the instructions and the bitterly sarcastic humor behind what it's saying... well I didn't want to play at all.
Managing the crew is an art: to keep your employees motivated you can reward them with an "employee of the week" badge or reproach them. For the most ungrateful the best solution is firing. Eliminate the weak links!

And not only that but the game tells me...
Headquarters:
McDonald’s is not a fast food chain but a brand, a lifestyle, a symbol of western culture's superiority. Here you can make strategic decisions about the corporate image.

It makes everything seem so nonchalant but when put into perspective, corporations like that are truly terrible things. But it's a cycle that's hard to stop.

But back to the game, I found the Ronald McDonald character really creepy as well as the Mickey Mouse character. (As an aside, I always joke about product placements in movies but Mickey being in the game really sheds a bad light on those sorts of things.) I did not like being at headquarters at all and looking over the ad campaigns.

Although in the end, no matter how much I tried to keep the fields going or those ridiculous slaughterhouses full I always went bankrupt.

I think this "game" should be played instead of anyone sitting down and being told that fastfood is wrong, not only because it's unhealthy but because of what it does.
