This Are Serious Question

Do you think, 100 years from now, there will be historical societies that reenact the great hostile takeover of Corporation XYZ by Corporation ABC?

I'd say doubtful, personally. It's not much of a visual spectacle, which is one of the keys to most historical re-enactors' efforts.

I tend to agree. On the other hands, there's good roleplay, lots of tactics and strategy and good, basic gameplay. I could definitely see a boardgame here, and growing out of that RPG. The step from there to re-enacting is not that big.

Mm... yeah, there's fiction about corporate scandal and takeover, and there are books about bloodless political wrangling. But it doesn't really have anything for a visual medium to take advantage of.
