    No one in a position to fulfill the terms of this game would allow it to be won. Therefore I’ll just take the $50.

    I don’t think it’s worth it to risk your life just for the money. On the other hand, imagine if the masses of poor people who have nothing to lose start playing this. Even if it’s hard to win, there are much more poor people than billionaries. All the billionaries would face the real risk of being massacred very quickly. I believe this would coerce them into sharing their fortune at least to the point they are no longer billionaries, and also try to cater to the people in the extreme poverty levels, who would be gifted the power to kill them. So all in all, I am privileged enough to not want to participate in the game, but very much approve of its existence. It’s akin to the situation where a leftist takes hold of the death note and starts killing the richest people of the world one by one, and people realize being rich has become a curse and start to regret winning capitalism.
