Bernard Arnault Sauve La France

released on Apr 29, 2020

Bernard Arnault Sauve La France is a satirical work and is not intended to explain to anyone how to get out of the crisis linked to Covid-19 (except perhaps Bernard Arnault). All amounts included in the game are from sources found as of April 29, 2020 and are highly subject to change. Bernard Arnault's fortune in particular, being largely based on stock market values, fluctuates widely. The orders of magnitude, on the other hand, do not change.

I had to use google translate to play this one since I don't speak French but I still enjoyed it's message. It's very derivative of You Are Jeff Bezos, which the creator cites as an inspiration. For those who might not know, and I didn't before playing, Bernard Arnault is currently the 3rd richest person in the world, and the only person of the top 10 richest people to not be an American. The game focuses on his wealth and on the COVID crisis, as the game was released in April of 2020. I liked this game for many of the same reasons I loved You Are Jeff Bezos. It's great at giving you a perspective on the immorality of billionaires, and showing how much good could be done with the money they hoard. It's also a unique perspective from the typical America-centric approach most games take, although still obviously relatable as we all live under the nation of capitalism. The COVID focus is also immediately relatable at the time of release, as so many people are dying when this money could be used for humanitarian aid.
