Sweat Shop: a coffee break time waster and FREE

It's a little web game about managing a sweatshop. It's easy at first but gets gradually challenging. It's worth a play but will not keep your attention longer than an hour or two unless you are an achievement whore.

RPS wrote about it today.........http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/07/18/gaming-guilt-sweatshop/

I don't get why people even bother with this sweatshop stuff. The people who buy the crap won't care if it's made in sweatshops and the people who care that it's made in sweatshops don't buy that clothing.

Wow, this reminds me almost too much of my previous job, which was assembly line work.

I think you just answered WHY people even bother in your own post.

They should sell t-shirts that say "Made in a sweatshop" on the website.
