I mean if I'm totally honest, it could be beneficial to me if something like this comes to be. Even in the developed world, we have a bunch of annoying people who complain/cry constantly about dumb things. They do that instead of doing something, whereas I can excuse the people trapped in hellholes overseas because it really isn't their fault they were oppressed and mistreated.

They'd have their own economy and "life" and leave the rest of us alone. It would be completely transactional, so I'd have zero reason to feel bad if they do it voluntarily.

If they can be happy in a simulated world, and others can be happy in the real world, then everyone wins!
