Everyone thinks of it as cute fun game … when it reality, we’ve all been conditioned to think of the idea of monopolies as a benign thing in society that isn’t a problem.
I don’t know anyone who thinks of monopolies as a good or benign thing, they’re usually brought up in the context of the harm they’re causing (ISPs, sysco) or as something to avoid in the case of a pending merger/acquisition
No the original “monopoly” was known as Landlord’s Game which was the educational game. If anything it would be a better statement to say the company that made the ouiji board also copy/stole the game Landlord to make Monopoly. This company being Hasbro.
Also … the history of the game monopoly was supposed to be an education to teach people about the terrible idea of ‘monopolies’ in general
