Talk:Fontaine Plasmids

Elizabeth questions Andrew Ryan’s motives for sinking the department store. Booker explains it as hypocrisy mixed with good business.
More   'Hey, that  would be neat to have, and  oh we dont care about fitting in to the previous games '  much seen in this DLC

Persephone already exists and certainly was large enough. Shouldnt the criminals in Fontaines organization be sent  there and all the ordinary workers who were actually Fontaines coersed victims just go back to their jobs, now under 'new management' ??

The 'sunk' department store still seems to be habitable (air/power/heat/etc...)  and the 'inmates' must get food from somewhere. Shouldnt it have had a prison-like entrance - armed guards/gates etc... if it was actually supposed do what they claim?

Exactly how does one sink a building ?? So it wasnt already fastened to the sea floor like every other building we ever saw in the game? (besided parts of Persephone which were well fastered to walls and ceiling) This isnt Columbia. 'Floating' buildings tend to be (in any reality) structurally unsound, uncomfortable motionwise  and a hazard. Sunk to where? Why not leave it in place and seal off all the connections. Booker and Elizabeth have no trouble getting to it (an unguarded prison - yeah thats logical)..

If Ryan wanted "out of sight out of mind" and was as murderous as Fonatine  or Lamb  then why not just sink them into the Abyss to be crushed by the depths and never heard from again ?? Why not just 'oops the place flooded and all the inmates drowned'... No, Ryan didnt simply murder people (though he could have done it to the building itself as a symbolic punishment for what traitors got).

"Good business"? Why waste 'sinking' a perfectly good reuseable {valuable] building or even putting it out of business when it was 'taken over by the city' and all the workers who  were NOT Fontaines thugs are now out of work??? More Citizens (and their families) who will complain... What about all the commercial deals the 'department store' had business arrangements with ?? More people out of work/disrupted and complaining ...

Seized and sold off to compensate all the people Fontaine had swindled/strongarmed ... Naaaaah

Why not just reorganize it and its now 'Rapture Department store'  now with the 'Taint' of Fontaine the murderous criminal and traitor removed??? Oops no place to slaughter splicers in......

"hypocrisy"?? there were other 'department stores',   the only advantage Fontaine had was with ADAM products and its not clear what portion of the whole ADAM market had been controlled. If Ryan was taking over the ADAM business, the 'department store' was not really involved, ADAM could be sold anywhere. CLosing it down doesnt get Ryan anything except further problems, it doesnt get Ryan 'one up' if he was supposedly jealous of Fontaines  stupendous 'department store' success victories.

Just more 'Ryan is Evil' BS. I guess writing this stuff is much easier if you can do anything you want not have to care if it fits anything that went before and have any character mouth stupid words that are first thought of.

More and more it looks like this stuff is NOT Canon because of the sloppyness of the writing.

Maybe its just Booker being Ironic as subcosciously he knows ALL about being hypocriit and  a tyrant and projects such motives on everyone else.
