It doesn’t say that I’m the text. It literally says that it is CALLED a gateway drug because of what SOME people do.

Of course trickle down works. I just don’t get how people came to believe that the rich people (i.e. the place with all the money/water) is the top of the mountain and the poor people were the ocean.

There are so many reasons why money constantly trickles from the poor all the way down to the rich.

That’s the thing: progress quest isn’t an idle game. It’s a parody of modern games that was made long before idle games were a thing. It wasn’t fun just like a joke isn’t an interesting story.
