5 Reasons Why Andrew Ryan Is Not An ObjectivistLet's be honest.  Bioshock (and Bioshock 2 and Minerva's Den) is a great game.  It has an amazing story, interesting characters, and awesome gameplay.

But to call Ryan an Objectivist, or Rapture an undersea version of "Galt's Gulch" is completely false.

I grow tired of people pointing to the game as "Here!  Here is why Objectivism doesn't work!", so I decided to explain just why this isn't true (not in any particular order):
