=== [[Bioshock]] includes the tropes: === |

* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Justified, since Rapture's regulation-free economy means that shopkeepers can charge people for weaponry to defend themselves during a civil war. Subverted, since you can hack most of the game's vending machines to get yourself greatly reduced prices. In an audio diary, Andrew Ryan even complains that hacking of the vending machines undermines Rapture's capitalist values. It also shows up in places where businesses ''will'' rip-off their customers, like a fancy theater or lounge - a snack bar, even when hacked, sells for the "low, low" price of $80. |

** Also justified in that there are no shopkeepers in the desolate Rapture, so there is no economy to begin with. Player character can buy anything only by using vending machines that have predetermined prices. |
