Ugh, Garry's Mod.

My nephew plays that. Keep saying to him, "Why do you keep playing that, it's so pointless. You just float around and spawn things." He gets mad at me.

While spawning things is a big part of it, as isw building things with all sorts of tools, there are many gamemodes people make for Garry's Mod - that include building + racing, decective games, survival games, etc - I've been hooked - once in a great while, I have to have people kick me from the server just to ensure I can force myself to get a good night's sleep,
 
Absolutely true. The sad fact is that with durable goods there has to be a parts market, like the Packard motors example I posted earlier in the thread. You have to make a good product, but if it is "too good" then there is no service sector and only x amount of consumers, it is actually possible to make a product so well that you cannot sell enough to stay in business.

*scratches head*

Well I'm thoroughly convinced a bloody revolution is overdue.
