He really does.

Ready Player One sounds, on the surface, like a searing critique of corporate capitalist bullshit, but in the end the actual upshot in the novel and movie is "We need kinder, gentler billionaires to be our feudal overlords".

Nevermind that Wade in RPO doesn't give a single shit to everyone else dying in stack collapses or any other form of cyberpunk misery which that world is full of. As long as his VR theme park doesn't have too many ads.
